3 Easy Steps to Differentiate Using Prodigy
All Posts
Itโs one of the toughest parts of teaching math.
Butย differentiating instructionย for each student is one of the most effective methods of addressing their unique skills deficits.
You can use Prodigy to simplify math content differentiation.ย Youโll deliver specific in-game problems to each student โ or distinct student groups โ in three quick steps!
1. Go to your in-accountย Assessmentsย tool
Visit theย Prodigy websiteย and clickย Loginย in the top-right corner.
Select a classroom.
Within the classroom, go to theย Assessmentsย tool.

2. Setย Assignmentย parameters
At the top of your screen, click the Create button. In the list, select Assignments.

A screen will load that allows you to choose curriculum-aligned domains and standards. Although your grade and curriculum are pre-set, you can change them at the top of this screen to deliver foundational or advanced skill practice.

Click Next to set the number of questions per standard in your Assignment. Clicking Next again will allow you to send the Assignment to specific students.

Click Next a final time to set the dates for the Assignment to appear in-game for the selected students.

3. Repeat as necessary, differentiating for each student
Repeat this process to deliver specific content to specific students, allowing them to address their trouble spots in Prodigyโs game-based learning environment!
Just be sure to give in-class Prodigy time โ perhaps in the form of anย entry ticket or learning stationย โ or encourage at-home use.
