What they’re saying

“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.”

— Rohan Mahimker, Prodigy Co-Founder and Co-CEO (columbiabusinessmonthly.com)

“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.”

— Misty Escoto, 4th grade teacher (columbiabusinessmonthly.com)

“I have seen an overall increase in skill reports and other assessments since using Prodigy Math Facts in the classroom. I have worked with other programs that are very dry and get stale over time. Students respond better when they are engaged and are familiar with a platform like Prodigy that's so intuitively designed to be fun and motivating for students.”

— Edward Courtney, 2nd grade teacher (columbiabusinessmonthly.com)
