Polynomials

Tic Tac Times – Students pick 2 factos listed at bottom of the page and multiply.  Place game piece on the product.  First player to get 3 or 4 (you pick the rules) in a row, wins!  For more challenge, each player must use one of the factors just used by their opponent.

Systems of Equations

Battleships and Mines – Students work in small groups to determine where their Battleship will intercept enemey lanes; the solution to the system will determine where to place mines on ememy lanes.
