Abstract	The purpose of the present study was to gather data regarding the implementation of Prodigy in elementary schools in a mid-sized school district in the southern United States. Prodigy is a free, adaptive mathematics game provided by Prodigy Education. The program integrates curriculum-aligned mathematics content (Grades 1-8) in a game-based learning program. It is a role-playing game designed to engage students using adaptive technology. Using students' responses to mathematics questions, the program identifies gaps in students' understanding and works with them by reinforcing prerequisite skills and then progressing to more difficult concepts. Using a case-study approach, the authors visited two schools and conducted interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations to examine implementation and outcomes. They also examined student achievement and usage data from the 2018-2019 school year. (ERIC).
