Prodigy Math
Prodigy Math is an online game for 1st to 8th grade in which a child goes on quests and battles, and each battle asks math questions. A placement test sets the starting level and the questions keep adjusting to the child, going back to basics or moving ahead. The math questions are free; an optional paid membership adds goals, printable practice sheets, extra game rewards and, on the higher plans, science and English.

- Placement
- No placement test on the publisher’s site when we checked.
What it does well
- The math questions are free, so a child can practice 1st to 8th grade math without a paid plan.
- A placement test and questions that keep adjusting mean a child works at their own level with little setup.
- Parents get a progress portal, a monthly skill-by-skill report card and a report of grade-level skills mastered.
- Players cannot share personal information or see bad language from other players.
Watch for
- It is practice inside a game, not a course that teaches each topic, so a parent still teaches new ideas.
- Members get more coins, gear and characters in the game, so children may ask for a paid plan.
- Memberships renew on their own until cancelled, and the yearly prices were shown as a holiday sale.
It fits
A family that wants a game a child will choose to play for extra math practice beside their main math course.
It doesn’t fit
A family that wants a full math course with explained lessons, or wants to keep games and screen time low.

What we read, and how we label
Every fact on a card was read on the publisher's own website on the date shown, and the page it came from is linked. A fact we could not confirm there is left out. Costs are for one child and one year of the main package, as the publisher's page showed them that day; prices and sales change. Method and format are the publisher's own description where it gives one. The only thing we say about religion is one label, secular or faith-based, given by the rule above; where the publisher's pages don't settle it, the card has no label.
