What It's Best For
Reluctant math learners. If your child resists math practice, Prodigy's game format gets them doing problems without feeling like "school." The RPG wrapper makes repetitive practice feel like play.
Supplemental practice for elementary. Prodigy works best as a reward or free-choice activity, not a core math curriculum. Let kids play it after finishing their primary math lesson for the day.

How We Use It
Our kids play Prodigy as a reward after completing their Khan Academy math. It is not our primary math tool, but it keeps them practicing without complaints. We do not pay for premium because the free version covers the educational content.
