Ratios and Proportional Relationships: 6.RP.2
Background
- A member of the X team will read a unit rate problem, which the members of the O team must solve. If the O team solves the problem correctly, they may place an O on any square of the tic-tac-toe board. If their answer is incorrect, they must place an X on any square of the board.
- A member of the O team now reads a unit rate problem, which the members of the X team must solve. If the X team solves the problem correctly, they may place an X on any square of the tic-tac-toe board. If their answer is incorrect, they must place an O on any square of the board.
- The object of the game, of course, is to get three Xs or three Os in a row. The game continues until there is a winner or there is a draw. If a second game is played, a member of the O team reads the first problem. To play more games, students may need to create more unit rate problems.
