Prodigy Math Game


Prodigy Math Game is a computer game that teachers are showing students all the time. This new game is a wizard themed game that incorporates math and your teacher can control what questions are asked and when. You can travel to different places and customize your own avatar whose name you can choose. Not only that but you can buy cool pets. Basically, on Prodigy, you choose your name with the template name-adjective-noun. Then, you make your avatar. Once, you are done you have a tutorial. All you do is go into these "battles". You can choose a spell (Which you will not have that many!) and answer the math problem. You can bring you monsters/pets in battle with you. If you win, you get prizes and more XP level up. If you get money, you can buy more clothes and pets. Before you get excited about this game, read my point of view. If you don't want to, click here and make your own account today.

Now here's my point of view. Prodigy Math Game is a cool game. It really is. It's cool but there are problems with it. Problem one: memberships. Prodigy pesters me day and night to get a membership and here's the deal, it costs money. While the account is free, they always want me to get the membership. It annoys me because they say stuff like "Stand out with premium gear and get your membership today!" or "Uh oh! you can't buy this because you don't have enough money! With a membership you can get it cheaper!". See? They can really annoy you. 

There's more to it. Prodigy Math Game is having students to keep their eyes glued to a screen all day. The screen is making children's eyes ruined. I've said it before and I'll say it again, so much technology isn't good! I've seen kids become attached to Prodigy like crazy. Sneaking their devices into class and playing while the teacher is talking. It's almost like when they are on Prodigy, their minds are now in the Prodigy world and can't get out. If it does somehow escape, it will go back. BEWARE! 


Here's the very last problem. The system doesn't work very well. There are so many glitches on Prodigy. In he old version, there were eggs that your pet hatches from and one time, the egg never hatched! Sometimes, it loads for what seems like hours. 

If you can deal with ads, a lot of technology and computer problems, Prodigy is your game! Scroll up and click the link if you want.  Also, please comment, recommend, subscribe and take one second to vote on the polls above and there is one below as well. Thanks for reading!

  3. I appreciate your resistance to the membership fees. Not just the cost, but the addiction factor. Make the kid fantastic at math but at what cost? Oh the slippery slope into our e-future....
