How to Use This Pack

Ten exit tickets, one for each lesson of a unit on money and patterns, in lesson order. Each page holds one lesson's ticket four times: copy the page, cut on the dashed lines, and seven copies give a class of 28 a ticket each. A ticket takes a few minutes at the end of the lesson. Students answer two or three questions, then circle a face beside the lesson's "I can" line to show how sure they feel. Coins are drawn at their true sizes next to each other, heads and tails, as big as on the unit test.

In the Classroom

Hand out the tickets in the last five minutes of the lesson and collect them at the door. Sort them into three piles (got it, almost, not yet) to plan tomorrow's small groups. The faces show how students feel about the lesson, the answers show what they can do; the two do not always agree. Every lesson of this unit comes from state standards: tickets 12.1 and 12.2 (naming coins and their values) are for Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, 12.3 (one kind of coin) for all of those but Georgia, 12.4 and 12.5 (mixed groups of coins) for Florida, Indiana and Texas, 12.6 and 12.7 (income, needs and wants, spend, save and share) for Texas, and the pattern tickets 12.8 to 12.10 for Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia. Skip the tickets your state does not teach. The unit test is a separate pack.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Read the questions aloud, count real coins from a pocket or a jar, and ask your child to show you how they counted.

Tips for Success

  • Read the questions aloud for students who are still learning to read
  • A dime is the smallest coin, but it is worth more than a penny or a nickel
  • Count the biggest coins first, then count on: 10, 20, 25, 26
  • For a pattern, find the part that repeats or how much each step grows
  • Keep the tickets for each lesson to see who has caught up

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 2.MD.C.8 Solve story problems with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills, writing amounts with the $ and ¢ signs.

1st Grade Money and Patterns Exit Tickets

1st Grade

Exit tickets for every lesson of a 1st grade unit on money and patterns: one page a lesson, with the same ticket four times to copy and cut apart. Each ticket has two or three quick questions and ends with an "I can" line and three faces for students to rate themselves. Students find and name pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, write what each coin is worth with the cent sign, count rows of one kind of coin, count on through groups of nickels and pennies and of dimes, nickels and pennies, continue repeating patterns and name them with letters, draw the next step of a growing pattern, and continue number patterns and name their rule. The whole unit comes from state standards; tickets 12.6 and 12.7 (income, needs and wants, spend, save and share) are Texas lessons. Answer keys for every ticket.
