Across grade levels, games address specific standards and skills, such as using frequency tables, adding fractions, or identifying points on a number line. Students earn points for correct answers and earn medals (i.e., gold, silver bronze) for accumulating points and improving their performance. Games are adaptive in the sense that questions become more challenging as students answer questions correctly, and less challenging as students answer incorrectly.

Games are presented using two platforms: “Prodigi” and “Math Games.” Prodigi games are designed to familiarize students with Next Generation assessments and include questions in multiple choice, drag and drop, and true/false formats. Math Games reflect the style of arcade games in which the goal is to move characters or objects through or across an obstacle-laden course. For example, in an Algebra I Math Games, students must successfully factor quadratic equations in order to keep ships from sinking. Students earn points for each ship they save.
