Real-Time Reporting

• Track domains, expectations, and skills for each one of your students

Teacher Tools: Planner/Assignments

• Use the planner tool to align your entire class with the topic you will be covering in class

• Use the assignment tool to assign specific students content based on their needs

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!

Page 11: Prodigy Teacher Overview Presentation

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

Page 12: Prodigy Teacher Overview Presentation

Results: Proficiency Improvements

* Improvement measured as change in % of students meeting standards

In a district of 21,000:

Schools using Prodigy improved by 3.0%Schools with high usage improved by 11.6%

Page 13: Prodigy Teacher Overview Presentation

Using Prodigy for Best Results

We recommend 30-60 minutes of in-school play per week

(one lab period) for best results.

On average, this results in an additional 45-90 minutes of voluntary play at home for free!
