Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about Prodigy. Do you know what Prodigy is? Well, it is an educational online game to help students like me with our maths. Now, let me tell you how to play: first you customise your character and then you go and explore the game world. You can even visit your friends in the game or do battle with the Titan (a big evil monster) or the Puppet Master. You can also rescue monsters and make them part of your team if you can break the Puppet Masters spell. In this way, you can eventually make a whole army. The higher your level, the better stuff you get like armour, wands, boots, hats etc. How to play: it's simple, whenever you're in battle, building or doing quests you have to answer a maths question. The questions get harder along the way. You may think that sounds easy but you are frequently in battle so you have to answer questions frequently too! When you finish a certain question you get a prize. Prodigy is very fun indeed. Well, I am off to play some Prodigy now, so bye!

Until next time
