Love using Prodigy? Tell a colleague.
Every teacher has that one tool they wish more people knew about: the one that saves prep time, keeps students engaged, and makes differentiation feel manageable instead of overwhelming. If Prodigy has become that tool in your classroom, sharing it with a colleague takes less time than a coffee break, and it could make their teaching day a little easier too. Here's why it's worth passing along, and how to do it in under a minute.
Why other teachers are worth telling
A teacher's recommendation means a lot to another teacher. When a colleague hears "this actually works" from someone standing in the same classroom reality they are, it cuts through the noise of trying yet another new tool.
Prodigy is a game-based math platform for grades 1–8 that turns practice into an adventure, while giving teachers a dashboard to track progress, assign targeted content, and see exactly where each student needs support. Intentional Prodigy use has been shown to drive stronger math outcomes.* For a colleague weighing whether to try something new, that's a low-risk way in: it's free to get started, and it fits into the classroom routines they already run.
“Struggling students love Prodigy. They think they're playing a game, but in reality, they are learning and practicing. Some of my heaviest users of Prodigy have become my best students. There is a positive correlation between Prodigy usage and student performance.”
Jezer Urena, Teacher
That's the kind of shift a colleague can see for themselves once they get started.
How to share Prodigy with a colleague
There's no complicated process: just point them in the right direction:
- Send them the link to sign up: sso.prodigygame.com/teachers/signup
- Let them know it's free to create a teacher account
- Mention what's worked well in your own classroom, so they know where to start
You can also copy and paste this email:
Subject: A math resource my students love
Hi [Name],
I wanted to share a math resource that has worked really well with my students.
Prodigy gives students standards-aligned math practice through a game they actually want to play. I can assign specific content, use the reports to see where students may need more support and use Prodigy Math Facts for short, focused fact-fluency practice.
It's free to create a teacher account, and setup only takes a few minutes: sso.prodigygame.com/teachers/signup
I thought it might be worth trying with your class!
[Your name]
That's it. From there, they can set up their own class, explore the dashboard, and decide how they want to use it.
What your colleague gets when they sign up
Once they create an account, a colleague can:
- Set up a virtual classroom in minutes
- Assign content aligned to what their students are already learning
- See real-time reports on progress, strengths, and gaps
- Let students build math skills through a game they genuinely want to play
- Use Prodigy Math Facts to build fact fluency
None of it requires an overhaul of how they already teach. Prodigy fits alongside direct instruction and other classroom tools, rather than replacing them.

If Prodigy has made a difference in your classroom, a colleague deserves to hear about it from you.
