What curriculum does Prodigy use?

Prodigy’s questions are based on the curriculum your child is taught in school. Our certified teachers work hard to make sure at-home play is always aligned with the classroom.

Prodigy Math covers mathematics standards for grades 1-8 across the United States, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and Australia. Explore our math skills and standards to see how it aligns to your child’s curriculum.

What does Prodigy do to protect safety and privacy?

At Prodigy, we take your child’s privacy very seriously. While they play, no personal information or inappropriate language can be shared with or seen by any other user.

We partnered with an independent privacy expert (iKeepSafe) to ensure full compliance with all federal privacy legislation — like FERPA and COPPA — as well as state legislation.

How does Prodigy Math progress in difficulty?

Prodigy Math determines your child’s skill and grade level using a placement test.

The placement test starts immediately when your child starts playing the game. It starts one grade below the one you or your child selected when setting up their account. Then, it works upwards to determine your child’s actual grade level.

When the placement test ends, Prodigy’s adaptive algorithm continues to track your child’s progress, going back to basics or jumping ahead, based on your child’s unique needs.

What are Prodigy Epics?

Epics are extra-powerful pets found in Prodigy Math. Each Epic has its own unique characteristics and abilities to help players on their Prodigy adventures.

Previously, Epics were toys that kids could collect in the real world. Each toy included a digital Epic code to access the in-game characters they represented. These were discontinued in 2019, but all the love our players had for them did not go unnoticed.

Since we couldn’t bring the physical toys back, we decided to bring Epics back virtually. Now, all players with Memberships can unlock a powerful Mythical Epic!
