In my current class in college, our instructor adds little games in to help us absorb the material faster. Those little games can really make a difference.

Glad you are enjoying.

Two students would play each other using one tic, tac, toe board. Each student would choose heads or tails and x's or o's before beginning the game. I would read a math problem, both students would work the problem during a given amount of time. When the correct answer was read, the student who got it correct would get to make their mark on the board. If neither got it correct, no one got a square and if both students got it correct, then we would flip a coin to determine who got the square. When one game ended, the students would create a new tic-tac-toe board. I used tic-tac-toe as a review game in my classroom all the time.
