Prodigy’s Power Up Contest is open to all residents of the United States and Canada, excluding Quebec, who are 18 years of age or older at the Contest opening date and have a free Prodigy teacher account.

Your Prodigy teacher portal has all the details! Log in or sign up to check your progress.

You will need to click ‘Enter contest’ at least once during the contest period to confirm contest participation intent. Thereafter, as qualifying activities are completed you will be automatically entered into the appropriate weekly or grand prize draws.

No extra steps required. Your entry progress will be displayed within your teacher portal. Contest is applicable to Prodigy Math only.

To enter for a chance to win up to 10 weekly prizes, log in to your Prodigy teacher account at least once and complete the following activity each week:

• Have your students answer a total of 50 questions in Prodigy Math

To enter the grand prize draw, within the contest period, you must:

• Have your students answer at least 300 questions in Prodigy Math,
• Create at least two (2) Prodigy Math classroom challenges for your Prodigy classroom, and
• Invite at least one parent to connect to your student 

If that seems like a lot to remember, don’t worry! Just log into your Prodigy teacher portal and follow the in-app prompts to track your progress.

Note: If you have multiple active Prodigy Math classrooms, the total number of questions answered across those classrooms will be combined for eligible entries.

For example, you have two classrooms: Classroom A and Classroom B. In week one, if Classroom A answers 25 questions and Classroom B answers 25 questions, those combined 50 questions will count as a weekly prize entry for week one.

We encourage inviting a parent to connect with a student to support students’ learning even at home. Parents linked to a student account will get access to a monthly report card of their child’s progress, plus at-a-glance views of their math achievement on Prodigy.

Here's how:

1. From your Teacher portal, navigate to ‘Student Roster’ on the menu

2. Locate the ‘Invite Parents’ widget where you will find a ‘Invite Parents’ button

3. A pop up will guide you to invite parent via three options:

• Under each student without a parent connected, enter their parent's email address
  - Once you’ve entered all your parent emails, click Review invites and double-check that your students are matched with the correct parent email.
  - Click Send invites - and you're all set! You can send one invite per student, up to a maximum of 25 parent invites per day.
  - Parents will receive an invite asking them to sign up for Prodigy and attach their child’s account. If they already have an account but haven’t attached their child, they’ll be able to skip straight to that step!
• Copy a unique link to share through a method of your communication choice (e.g., text)
• Download and print parent letters that include
  - Student Username and Password
  - Information about Prodigy
  - Instructions for the parent to create a free Prodigy Parent Account

Nope! While you’re completing all the steps and earning your entries, nothing will change for your students in Prodigy Math. They’ll keep playing and learning as usual!

Starting August 9, 2022, weekly prize draws will happen every Tuesday, and we’ll get in touch with you via email if you’re the lucky winner!

Plus, you can win a weekly prize more than once! So make sure your students are playing each week.

Our grand prize draw will take place on October 12, 2022 and the winner will also be contacted by email. 

No, each week is a new weekly draw. You will need to complete the following qualifying activity each week: having your students answer a total of 50 questions in Prodigy Math.
