How can Prodigy be effectively integrated into the math classroom?

Hi everyone, I’m an elementary school teacher with several students who really enjoy the web-based math game Prodigy. I recommended it for them to use over the summer, but I’m unsure how to incorporate it into my classroom. My nephew, who played it in second, third, and fourth grades, introduced me to it, but I’m not very familiar with its features.

I’m also hesitant to increase screen time for students, given that our families have expressed a desire to reduce computer use, especially since we’re currently doing distance learning.

I’d appreciate any suggestions or information on how you’ve successfully used Prodigy in the classroom. Thanks in advance guys.

Prodigy works well as an option during free Chromebook time. I’ve also thought it could be interesting to play Prodigy as a class on Twitch, solving the math problems together on a separate screen. However, I’m not sure how practical that would be.
