All question content is teacher-made and fully aligned with state standards while our adaptive algorithm ensures students make steady progress.
The team of Education Specialists who create the math content are former educators.
Together, they regularly create content — researching learning standards and building content down into bite-sized skills that students can practice on their way to master learning.
Using their experience as classroom educators, they develop question hints to ensure students receive accessible and appropriate scaffolding and content rigor.
Prodigy offers 1,500+ math skills ranging from first- to third-level DOK. On the lower end, students practice fluency and knowledge of basic concepts and routine procedures. On the higher end, they interpret and understand what the question is asking.
Educators and parents can use Prodigy as they work to support learners' understanding of the underlying math principles to ensure students don’t just grasp new knowledge — but learn to apply it, too.
