Unit Game people play

• The Mathching card game and the Go Fish task are by Anne Mathieu of IREMReunion. Since audio was fast, also unusable as standalone, picked a video explaining the rules. Couldn't use the five tips podcast.
• The Monty-Hall problem is taken from Jenny Gage and David Spiegelhalter's Teaching Probability Gage TeachingProbability.
• The SET game workout is adapted from Mathcircles SET. It didn't work, too heavy, and students would rather play the game than think about it.
