Play Prodigy Math Game

Try Prodigy — the curriculum-aligned math platform used by millions of students and
teachers worldwide — to engage your class while reinforcing lesson content and
teaching essential skills.

It borrows elements from students’ favorite video games as they compete in math duels
against in-game characters. To win, they must answer sets of questions. You can
customize these questions to supplement class material, deliver assessments, prepare for
tests and more.

If you choose to not customize content, Prodigy uses adaptive

learning and differentiated instruction principles to adjust problems. This algorithmic
approach helps you offer your students math lessons tailored to their individual needs
and targets.

2. Read a Math Book

Show your students that reading engaging stories isn’t exclusive to language arts

class.

There are many age-appropriate math books that effectively explain skills and

techniques while providing exercises to help students understand content.

For example, the Life of Fred series introduces and teaches essential math skills aligned
with most elementary school curricula.
The four books, each containing 19 lessons, present content through stories about cats,
ice cream and other child-friendly subjects. With full answer keys, the series lends itself
to practicing, reviewing or learning entire skills.

You can find age- and topic-specific math books through a few Amazon searches or a
brief bookstore visit.
