\nUS Students Fall Behind in Math Amid Pandemic School Closures
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Jan. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) fall assessment during the pandemic showed elementary and middle school students have fallen measurably behind in math since schools were forced to abruptly close in March. Data from nearly 4.4 million US students in grades 3-8 represents one of the first significant measures of the pandemic\u2019s impact on learning. The findings show that, compared to last year, students scored an average of 5 to 10 percentage points lower in math, with students in grades three, four and five experiencing the largest drops. This is disconcerting to parents who want to ensure their children get the education required to succeed and makes it especially difficult for children already struggling with math! <\/p>\n

In response to this unprecedented challenge, The Prodigy Factory will release a new \u2018gamified\u2019, AI-assisted, learning software series called Math Prodigy. Math Prodigy for grades K-2 will be available in January 2021. Grades 3-5 and 6-8 will soon follow. <\/p>\n

Dr. Dana Dominiak CTO, co-founder of The Prodigy Factory and creator of Piano Prodigy as well as \u201cDragon Ball Z\u201d and \u201cMy Little Pony\u201d games said, \u201cThe process of learning math builds upon prior knowledge. Prior knowledge comes from engagement\u00a0and practice. The Math Prodigy smart gaming approach drives engagement and practice because it makes math fun! Math Prodigy also coaches students in a friendly and fun way based on performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee Peterson, CEO and co-founder of The Prodigy Factory added, \u201cMath Prodigy K-8 combines smart gaming and interactive math lessons in a series of grade appropriate products. Each grade level contains a full 36 weeks of smart, game supported lessons. We are excited to do our part to help all children catch up with their math performance!\u201d<\/p>\n
