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 20 cards have been answered. The student with the most teeth in Toothy’s mouth is the winner of the game.
These task cards can also be used for other activities such as write the room, scoot, intervention, etc!

I have used your toothy kits in the past and they have been great for my kids to practice different ELA and math skills. I’ve used these virtually with students and it’s nice to zoom in on one card at a time to work through problems and then share out our answers. I can’t wait to use them in person next year. Thank you!
Anna H. –
I used toothy when I taught 2nd grade so I knew I needed it when I came to kinder! I only prepared about 6
sets for this year (my first year in kindergarten) but I plan on making all sets this summer and using them daily next school year! Thank you!

Absolutely LOVE toothy! I’ve taught 1st and 2nd and used in both grades so when I saw my kinders could benefit from this resource I was so excited. Thank you for this self checking and engaging resource!
Nadine F. –
We use this as one of our math games centers – I love how this product includes so many different activities that follow the same routine, so when the task card changes the procedure remains the same and students don’t need to be taught all the steps from scratch each time!
Nicole Gatewood Fields. –
Every review I leave about toothy is about how great it is. I can use it with neurotypical children as well as my resources students!
Leah L. –
Toothy for the win!! My students love Toothy and I love they are learning. The K version came in very handy last year due to the deficits our students came in with.
Emily M. –
I bought the 2nd grade toothy centers last year and just knew that I had to get them again when I moved to Kindergarten this year. My students love these games!
Little Playful Learners –
So far so good! My students love playing Toothy, and I love that there are so many skills covered here. I also got the kindergarten ELA set and will probably be buying the other sets in the future!
That Teacher Mrs Lewis –
I love the independence of these cards. After learning how to use them as a class, my kiddos work really well during our Math Centre time. I shrunk the cards down a bit so that they fit into smaller boxes so that each student can take a box and work on the activities inside. In Canada, our curriculum runs a little different, so I find that the majority of the K activities are appropriate for the beginning of 1st Grade in Canada.
Brenda C. –
An absolute wonderful resource with many activities to practice all things math! Students were hooked on Toothy once they learned how to do each activity. Great addition to the math center and even small group time.
Haley G –
Thank you so much for this resource! I especially love the ability for self-check. It makes me feel better knowing they can check themselves while I’m working with other students!

I love Toothy! My students love drawing the teeth and I love that they have a fun and engaging way to learn and review their Phonics skills!
McMahon’s Move Mountains –
Kindergarten Math task cards are a great resource to use with small groups and then the whole group too. My students loved how the mouth would add more teeth with different activities if they got the answer correct. This resource was very engaging and worked well with last year’s class.
I look forward to trying the activities with my future class this upcoming year.
