ReadingMama1214 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My 5 year old just started using Prodigy Math on my computer and she really enjoys it. However, I feel like it doesn't do the best job of addressing incorrect answers as I would like. Are there any similar computer games? I signed up for Xtra Math, but haven't had her use it. I'd prefer something free and she loves the format of Prodigy. We do have Achimedes Roost on the iPad and the free version of MathSeeds. But now that she is using my computer, I am open to more computer based games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfmommy Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Numbers and Big Numbers by DragonBox. Not free but very reasonable for great games. Edit to say that these are apps so not quite what your looking for. Edited January 13, 2017 by smfmommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternallytired Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 When my kids were just delving into math, I really liked the paid version of MathSeeds--and so did they. It did a nice job of introducing/teaching a new concept and providing varied practice for the new concept mixed in with a bit of review. Prodigy is great, but IMHO it works better as a review tool than as a teaching tool; if my kids hit a new concept I need to be right there to walk through several problems with them, and generally I'm trying to use their tech time as my time to get something done. If she wants to continue on Prodigy, maybe you could assign topics you know she thoroughly understands (so errors will just be "oops" and not "I-have-no-idea-what-they're-asking") and just use it for review. Otherwise, I'd wait until MathSeeds is running a sale and jump on their paid computer program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
