TORONTO, ON, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prodigy Education ('Prodigy'), leaders in game-based learning, are excited to announce that their math game has been named one of the most popular platforms among students and educators in the United States.

“It’s great for Prodigy Math to be officially recognized as one of the most popular classroom tools,” said Alex Peters, Co-CEO of Prodigy Education. “With students and teachers now returning to classrooms after a well-earned summer break, we’re thrilled so many will once again have Prodigy supporting them with a game-based learning platform that puts the fun into math practice.”
