It doesn't get much better than a Minecraft-like game with math practice that meets the first grade Common Core Standards! Double win!
Yesterday, each student was able to create their own profile on the amazing FREE website www.prodigygame.com. During Computer Lab, students explored game, created their own username, password, and character, and (the best part) practiced math! Prodigy Game is a wizard based theme where students have to "cast spells" to defeat opponents. Each "spell" they cast is actually solving a math problem correctly. As they defeat opponents (and master math skills) the game intuitively increases the difficulty of their math problems. As the teacher, I can tailor the math problems they encounter to match exactly the skills we are learning in the classroom! This is something that I am working on, as the Prodigy Game is new to me, too! The program gives me reports how students' accuracy and monitors their progress. I can see when students log in at home and practice. It also reports on the skills that they have mastered or are struggling with. I am excited to have this be a regular option on our Homework Menu! As promised (Carson and Ethan!) here are the students' usernames and passwords they created. Look carefully, some passwords are wpsk12 and some are only wps12. Happy snow day! : ) Name Username Password aidan b aidanb2400 wps12 aisha k aishak100 wpsk12 alahna b alahnab4 wpsk12 Asher c Asherc239 wps12 Carson s Carsons1362 wpsk12 dasia b dasiab13 wpsk12 denisse p denissep36 wpsk12 ethan s ethans6383 wpsk12 harshaan s harshaans5 wpsk12 jazmine g jazmineg278 wpsk12 Jenn A JennA13154 wpsk12 jeremiah p jeremiahp629 wpsk12 joey d joeyd889 wps12 jordan5 l jordan5l wpsk12 kamdyn s kamdyns27 wps12 kelly g kellyg380 wpsk12 manny k mannyk23 wpsk12 natalie b natalieb1885 wpsk12 sadie s sadies811 wpsk12 sophia h sophiah1907 wpsk12 violet m violetm363 wpsk12
