Students practice applying the distributive property while playing this classic tic-tac-toe variation. Learners choose a game mode ranging from simple constant distribution, such as 4(3+9), to more complex algebraic expressions, then identify a square, solve the expression, and drag the correct answer into place to claim it. This activity supports TEKS 5.4.F (apply the distributive property).
Skills: distributive property, simplifying expressions, algebraic reasoning, strategic thinking. Grades 5-10.
