Wonderopolis |
Prodigy |
The excitement of learning that comes from curiosity and wonder is undeniable, and Wonderopolis helps create learning moments in everyday life—ones that fit in with dinner preparations, carpool responsibilities, a stolen moment between breakfast and the bus, or within school curriculum and education programs.

Prodigy is a highly engaging math game that takes place in a land of wizards and spells. Kids love battling other wizards using their math skills. The game continually adapts to your child's level, and the free version has all of the same content as the paid version. For pre and early readers, there is also an audio guide to read the problems to the players. The only drawback is that they push to upgrade to a paid subscription, but it is not necessary.
