With math performance continuing to be a challenge post-COVID, targeted daily practice for students has never been more important. With Prodigy Math Facts, rather than relying on repetitive drills or worksheets, students participate in exciting, fast-paced races alongside their Prodigy pets, where progress is driven by answering math facts accurately and efficiently. The result is increased time-on-task, improved automaticity, and stronger confidence in foundational skills.

Prodigy Co-Founder and Co-CEO Rohan Mahimker said: “Being able to quickly and accurately recall basic math facts is so important because without this, students often struggle and waste valuable mental computational time when they get to more advanced math concepts and skills. With Prodigy Math Facts, we’re turning this dreaded daily fluency practice into something students will look forward to – and even ask their teachers for. Following months of testing and teacher feedback, we believe we’ve created the best tool on the market – the most engaging for students, and most flexible and customizable for teachers – all at no cost.”

As students play, progress is automatically tracked and displayed in intuitive fluency grids, allowing teachers to quickly identify mastery gaps and provide targeted support. Teachers maintain full control of the experience with customizable fact sets and fluency thresholds, including the ability to differentiate for individual students.

Misty Escoto, a 4th grade teacher in Nevada, was provided early access to Prodigy Math Facts and said: “Because of Prodigy Math Facts, I now hear excitement and cheers instead of moans and groans when I say it’s time for practice. Student motivation is a big part of encouraging and driving academic achievement. Prodigy inspires this, and also provides me with the free tools I need to track progress and see where students might need help.”
