Prodigy is a free game-based website that allows students to take on the role of a wizard, challenges them to battle monsters. Since it is more play-based, Prodigy is well-liked by children, but not by instructors. Although Prodigy is more of a game, many teachers appreciate the fact that it automatically targets math concepts that students struggled with in its preassessment and tracks how much progress they make on target areas as a result of their participation. When students finish work early, most teachers provide them with Prodigy as a choice.
