Teeko Challenge
Sean Minhinnick — March 30, 2023
We're just starting to learn about Teeko and how it can help us with our mathematical learning.
The rules are simple. The game is played on a 5-by-5 square grid. Two players, each have four pieces (tokens) and alternate turns. For the first eight turns, they alternate dropping a piece onto any unoccupied position of the grid.
From here a turn consists of moving any one piece to an adjacent unoccupied position; a move may be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The goal for each player is to be the first to arrange his pieces into a winning configuration, either a horizontal, diagonal or vertical line of 4 or a square.
We'll be using this as one of our maths warm ups and setting up a class leader board where students will challenge each other to move up the leader board.
