"I like to spice up my math lessons by using a cooperative tic-tac-toe game with students. I have students create a tic-tac-toe grid. I then assign a list of 9 problems to groups of two students. The students flip a coin to decide who goes first. The student who goes first has to do problem #1. If they get it right, their circle or "X" goes in the tic-tac-toe slot of their choice. If they get it wrong, their opponents circle or "X" goes in the tic-tac-toe slot of their opponent's choice. I find this to be a great review activity for problems of any type. I started using this technique with other content areas and it work well too."
