- Students take turns choosing a card.
- Each student solves 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 if the answer is correct.
- Those who have a correct answer get to draw a tooth.
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.
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.
