Join over 20 million students, teachers, and parents using our free, curriculum-aligned math game for Grades 1 - 8.
Prodigy is a free, Pokemon-style math game that has been proven to improve student scores and confidence! It is aligned to the Ontario curriculum for grades 1-6, and features content from each of the five major strands.
Prodigy was designed with three primary goals in mind: 1. To create deep engagement so students double their math practice time at home. 2. To equip teachers with reports and assessment tools to inform their instruction. 3. To provide curriculum aligned content for free, regardless of a student’s demographic.
Teachers can create assignments and assessments, align them curriculum, and check in on progress. The program automatically adapts to students who are struggling or excelling, but teacher's also have the option to override grade levels to adapt and modify for individual students. Parents can connect and see what their child is working on, and students can access the program from any computer or tablet.

Each summer, students lose critical math and literacy skills, which can widen the achievement gap among students. To prevent this “summer slide,” EVERFI has partnered with Major League Baseball to develop a continuous and engaging learning experience that prepares students of all backgrounds to enter the next school year on track. The 18-week program, targeted to 4th and 5th graders, unlocks activities at regular intervals and offers rewards for progress and consistency along the way. Students engage with content that reinforces critical math and language skills while enjoying the freedom and motivation of a baseball-themed, game-based learning experience.
This can be used throughout the year as extra reinforcement for students.
