What is Harmony Island? 

The legend behind the adventure

For generations, the legend of Harmony Island was thought to be only a myth. 

Until now. 

Recently, Harmony Island has reappeared — and it all seems to be true. This mystical tale is coming to life! 

Legend has it, powerful forces awaken when balance must be restored to the Prodigy world. And as Harmony Island reveals itself once again, it’s clear that these forces are close at hand. 

To become the hero of this story, Prodigy wizards must fight against the shadow magic that left its mark, restore balance to the world and save the day!

Teachers: boost math skills with Harmony Island 

With the many changes we've adapted to this year, you've done an awesome job finding creative ways to keep your students learning — whether virtually, in-class, or a mix of the two. 

And as the holidays approach, you may be looking for ways to prevent students from becoming more disengaged and anxious while they’re away from the classroom. On top of this, learning loss brought about by COVID-19 may make winter learning loss even more noticeable this time around. 

But with Harmony Island, you can engage students in a positive learning environment wherever they are — during the winter break and beyond!

Why you’ll love it just as much as they will 

This exciting new feature will help you:

• Maintain student engagement over the holidays
• Introduce, reteach and reinforce things being taught in class
• Make learning fun and help students build confidence in math
• Assign curriculum-aligned math practice at home (that they’ll actually be willing to do!) 

Next steps for teachers

1. Create an Assessment 

While your students are extra engaged with Prodigy, get them working on the exact skills you want them to. 

With Assessments, you can make sure the content your class sees in the game reflects your lesson plans and reinforces what you’ve taught. 

For example, set a Plan for students for a week or two over the winter break. When students play the game and explore Harmony Island, they’ll practice the specific math skills you want them to. This will keep students within their level of understanding, so they can learn at a reasonable pace without boredom or frustration.

2. Encourage students to visit Harmony Island over the winter break 

Once your Assessment is ready, get your class practicing more math over the holidays. 

Here’s how: 

1. Tell them about the awesome adventures that await on Harmony Island!
2. Make sure students and their parents have their login information before the break.
3. Assign Prodigy Math Game over the winter holidays (tip: we recommend around 30 minutes a day for optimal math practice).

Once your students are excited to log in and play,  sit back and wait for the fantastic results to come in the new year!
