Tic Tac Toe Math

Directions

Each player writes their name and chooses either X or O.

Player 1 chooses a square to complete. BOTH Player 1 and Player 2 independently work out the problem in the chosen square. If Player 1 is correct, Player 1 gets the square and circles their symbol (X or O)
IF Player 1 is incorrect, Player 2 has a chance to ‘steal’ the square. Player 2 MUST complete the problem correctly AND explain where Player 1 was incorrect.
Player 2 chooses a square, even if they stole Player 1’s square. BOTH players must work independently to solve the problem. If Player 2 is correct, Player 2 gets the square. If Player 2 is incorrect, Player 1 has a chance to ‘steal’ the square. Player 1 MUST complete the problem correctly AND explain where Player 2 was incorrect.
This continues until someone wins or all squares have been completed.

Pro Tips:

The four corners are set up with easier (DOK 1) problems.
The four middle squares (forming a plus) are a bit harder
The center square is the hardest, a challenge problem.
Have both players work on the center square collaboratively. Then they can BOTH claim the square.
