HOW TO PLAY:
Each partner gets a Toothy mat and dry erase marker. Students will take turns choosing a card. Each student who is playing the game will solve the problem on their Toothy mat or dry erase board. When all who are playing have answered the question, they compare their answers and then turn the card over to check to see if their answer is correct. Those who have a correct answer get to draw a tooth in Toothy’s mouth on their mat. If the student’s answer is incorrect, they do not draw a tooth and those who got the answer correct must explain how they got to the correct answer. Then the next student draws the next card and the process is repeated. The game is over once all the cards have been answered. The student with the most teeth in Toothy’s mouth is the winner of the game.

My students love using these “games” when they earned “free” time during reading interventions. They are not only fun, but students need to use their literacy skills to earn characters’ teeth. Such a great way to get students who struggle invested in their literacy skills!

A teammate of mine mentioned these task cards and after observing in her class I just knew I had to have them for my own classroom. Best purchase!
JANELLE VAN RIESEN –
Love the Toothy products! So nice the students can self-correct and “reward“ themselves with a tooth!! Recording sheets are nice also, to show they have done all the problems.

This helps reading engagement for small group reading instruction. The students ask are we going to do Toothy? This is a great way for me to informally assess their reading comprehension on core reading standards.

My students have loved using this resource in class. I am currently using them as early finisher tasks, and the students love the freedom to pick what skill they want to work on. Next school year, I will be incorporating these into center work.

Love TOOTHYs! I have used this in the Special Education setting as a teacher ran center. Students love putting the teeth on once they have gotten the correct answer. I also love how students can self check. I let my students use them as a team center once I felt like the concept was easy enough to be used individually/with a group!

I used this as warm up in our whole group and small group sessions. I used this as a quick assessment. Once I’ve gone through a few with my students, I set it as a center and students work independently using the toothy mat. They love it!! I’ll be purchasing more toothy resources! Thank you for making these resources!
Britni D. –
I absolutely LOVE all of the resources I’ve bought from Lucky Little Learners. Their work is fantastic and my kids have enjoyed everything I have given them from this TpT seller. The Toothy task cards are awesome!

I use these as a warm up for my small group. I pull the standards they need work on and then match the skills to the task cards. That way they are getting the chance to work on that skill each day.
Erin E. –
My students loved the high-interest stories and absolutely LOVED drawing in toothy’s smile as we got the comprehension questions correct!
Rebecca C. –
I use these with my students as a practice for the skill we are working on. I am a remote teacher so I just read the task card and show it under my document camera and the students write their answer and either share it with me or take a picture of the sheet at the end and put it on Seesaw.

I own all the toothy sets now and LOVE them!! My students are easily able to transfer the process of how to use these task cards from subject to subject. I love how many topics this covers because there is always something to supplement my teaching!
