What is a Tic Tac Toe Choice Board?
In K-12 education, a **Tic Tac Toe choice board** (sometimes called a learning menu) is a differentiated instruction strategy. It organizes nine activities into a 3x3 grid matching the layout of a Tic Tac Toe board.
To complete the assignment, students select and complete **three activities in a row** (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). This approach provides teachers with several key benefits:
- Student Agency & Choice: Allowing students to select their own tasks increases engagement, motivation, and learning ownership.
- Differentiated Instruction: Teachers can organize tasks by learning styles (visual, auditive, kinesthetic) or difficulty levels (Bloom's Taxonomy) across different columns or rows.
- Balanced Assessment: By matching row configurations, teachers ensure that whichever diagonal or row a student chooses, they complete a balanced set of tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do teachers structure choice board tasks?
A common strategy is to place the core learning task or "Free Choice" in the center square (Cell 5). The corners can represent creative visual or artistic tasks, while the edges represent analytical or writing-based tasks.
Can students fill out choice boards digitally?
Yes. Teachers can generate the text blocks here, select a theme, and either print them out as PDFs or share the screen for students to select tasks online.
