Looking for a crafty way to check your students’ addition skills? Our adorable Sharp Shark Teeth craft is the resource for you!

As well as practising key addition concepts, this hands-on activity allows students to practise their fine motor skills as they create and decorate their shark craft. Once their sharks have been assembled, students can record their addition to 10 or 20 problems in the bubble and solve them by drawing or gluing craft items to represent teeth in their shark’s mouth.

In addition to detailed instructions (that include a finished example) and an adorable display banner, this resource includes two options to suit the needs of your class:

1. A crafty cut-and-paste option with a backing template.
2. A worksheet option ready to have ‘teeth’ drawn on or glued to it.

Top Teacher Tips:

1. Enlarge the backing templates to A3 to give students plenty of room to assemble and glue their sharks.
2. For a pop of colour, print the backing templates on coloured cardstock.
3. Provide craft materials for students to decorate their crafts, such as sequins for teeth, pom poms for bubbles and green pipe cleaners for seaweed.
4. Print and assemble our Sharp Shark Teeth banner to create a beautiful display of your students’ completed addition crafts!

Your students are sure to love the process of creating an eye-catching shark with sharp teeth!
