ProdigyProdigy is a free, adaptive math game for grades 1-7 that integrates Common Core or Ontario math into a role-playing game using a Pokemon-style wizardry theme. Students complete math questions to level up (become more powerful) and ultimately defeat Crios, Prodigy’s main antagonist. Based on the student’s profile and an invisible diagnostic run during the preliminary tutorial, students are placed at a math level. As they play, question difficulty is increased or decreased depending upon their answers and facility with the skills. If a student struggles with a concept, following questions will backfill the necessary skills.

Khan AcademyKhan Academy is a free adaptive, and non profit, website which incorporates many different subjects. On Khan Academy students start on a mission and work through grade level or lower level material which adapts to their skill and ability. As students grow in skill and ability the moderator(teacher) has the ability to send students on to higher grade levels. Also as students work through the material they gain badges and avatars who evolve over time. These badges and evolutions are a form of a visible reward for student enjoyment and motivation.
