Quadratic Bingo is a two person game played between player X and player O.
The first player (X) selects two factors from the list of factors, multiplies these factors, and then chooses the square containing the quadratic product.
From then on play alternates between player O and player X. The next player must keep exactly one of the previous player's factors, and then must select another factor. That player then chooses the square containing their product.
Play continues until one player has THREE squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
Each new game shuffles the quadratics board.
This game is based on the Polynomial Game described in Enrichment Worksheet 15, Algebra 1, D.C. Heath, 1987.
