How to Play Math Money Toothy
Once the Toothy Task cards are printed and prepped, you are ready to play Toothy! For extra support for all learners, students can have the option to use money manipulatives and a money anchor chart when playing.
For Partner Play: Each partner gets a Toothy mat and a dry erase marker. Students will take turns choosing a card. Each student will solve the problem on their Toothy mat or dry erase board. When everyone has answered the question, they compare their answers. Finally, turn the card over to check to see if the 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 ends once all 27 cards have been answered. The student with the most teeth in Toothy’s mouth is the winner of the game.
Play Toothy as an independent, small group, or whole class game, too! Check out these 5 fun and different ways teachers use Toothy in their classrooms.
