Results: Change in Attitudes After 6 weeks on Prodigy, classes surveyed observed a: 23% increase in students stating they “like” or “love” math 19% increase in students indicating math did not make them feel nervous

Results: Phenomenal Engagement For every 1 minute a child uses Prodigy at school, the average child spends an additional 1.5 minutes at home, voluntarily

Using Prodigy for Best Results We recommend minutes of in-school play per week (one lab period) for best results. On average, this results in an additional minutes of voluntary play at home, for free!

What Teachers are Saying “My students have grown to enjoy math more and more this year, and Prodigy has been a big part of that. They are experiencing success while completing much needed practice of basic math facts - which has directly led to higher confidence and risk taking with higher order thinking problems that I present to them in class.” -Maria Tersigni-Wishart, Teacher, HWDSB
