I thought this was such a neat way to review and I am always looking for new ideas! I played my own version of tic-tac-toe review a couple of times but think I could improve on it if you wouldn't mind to recap how you play the game in your classes. Thank you so much for sharing!

They may work with friends or ask for help, but they must have work shown for each problem. When we play the game, I randomly pull numbers from a cup to select the student. They must show me their work for the problem they choose in order to get an X or O for their team. This is really important when it is a space needed to block the other team. If one team scores a TTT, everyone on that team gets a bonus point on their test. Anyone whose name in on the board, gets three bonus points and if their name is on the TTT line, they get 5 bonus points.
