Prodigy is a self guided online math program where users meet a friendly creature who guides them as they enter a fantasy world filled with battles and rewards. As kids encounter monsters to battle, they must answer math questions to earn a spell. The spell helps kids win the battle and move forward in the game.

Start by setting up a parent home account and create a child login. Once a child starts the program they will undertake a placement test to ensure their tasks are aimed at their current ability level. Once a placement test is completed, parents can assign particular concept areas (eg. place value, addition, multiplication) as a focus or students can just work through the program independently.

After providing and confirming an email address, parents create a user account for each kid using the app. When kids start, they meet and play with friendly animal guides. Then, activities are automatically presented according to age and past performance. There's content available for preschoolers all the way through first graders. Topics rotate among math, ELA, logic, and socio-emotional learning games, videos, and books, with opportunities for exploration and creative expression. After completing activities, kids choose a prize to add to their animal friends' collections. Kids and parents can also browse and choose activities by topic or type.
