Eleven exit tickets, one for each lesson of a unit on shapes and equal shares, 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 quick questions, then circle a face beside the lesson's "I can" line to show how sure they feel.
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. When students cut a shape into halves or fourths, any way that makes equal shares is right, not only the one the key shows. The unit test is a separate pack.
Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Read the questions aloud, and look for shapes around the house: the corners of a book, a can that rolls, a sandwich cut in half.

Exit tickets for every lesson of a 1st grade unit on shapes and equal shares: one page a lesson, with the same ticket four times to copy and cut apart. Each ticket has two quick questions and ends with an "I can" line and three faces for students to rate themselves. Students count sides and corners, tell triangles from look-alikes, draw a shape from clues, find square corners, decide which solid shapes roll and stack, find the blocks in a build and put flat shapes together. Then they tell equal shares from unequal ones, cut shapes into halves and fourths, see that more shares make smaller shares and solve sharing stories. Answer keys for every ticket.
