Features

Two quick questions a ticket
An "I can" line and three faces for students to rate themselves
Count sides and angles, circle every hexagon, and draw shapes from clues on dot paper
Count the faces, edges and vertices of a cube, and find the solid with 6 vertices
Cut shapes into halves, thirds and fourths, and see that equal shares can be different shapes
Tickets 13.4 and 13.7 to 13.11 (right angles, sixths and eighths, comparing unit fractions, lines of symmetry, perimeter and area) are for the states that teach them in 2nd grade
Answer keys for every ticket

Skills Covered

Count the sides and angles of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons
Draw a shape that fits a clue
Count the faces, edges and vertices of a solid
Halves, thirds and fourths; equal shares can be different shapes

Right angles, and angles smaller or larger than one
Sixths and eighths; compare and order unit fractions
Lines of symmetry
Perimeter, and area from unit squares

How to Use This Pack

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.

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. When students cut a shape into equal shares or draw a shape from a clue, any way that fits is right, not only the one the key shows. Tickets 13.4 and 13.7 to 13.11 are for the states that teach right angles, sixths and eighths, comparing unit fractions, symmetry, perimeter or area in 2nd grade; skip the ones your class does not learn. The unit test is a separate pack.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Look for shapes around the house: count the sides of a sign, the faces of a cereal box, and cut a sandwich into thirds two different ways.

Tips for Success

Have students mark each side or angle as they count it, so none is counted twice
The corner of an index card checks right angles
Keep a box and a few blocks out for counting faces, edges and vertices
Equal shares are the same size, even when they are not the same shape
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.G.A.1 Draw and spot shapes with given features, like a number of angles or faces, and name triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes.
2.G.A.3 Cut circles and rectangles into 2, 3 or 4 equal parts called halves, thirds or fourths; equal parts of one whole can look different.
3.NF.A.1 Know 1/b is one of b equal parts of a whole, and a/b is a of those parts (denominators 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8).
3.NF.A.3d Compare fractions of the same whole that have equal numerators or equal denominators, thinking about part size; record with >, = or < and explain.
3.MD.C.5a Know that a square with 1-unit sides has an area of one square unit and can be used to measure area.
3.MD.C.5b Know that a flat shape exactly covered by some number of unit squares, with no spaces or overlapping, has that many square units of area.
3.MD.C.6 Find an area by counting how many unit squares cover it, in square centimeters, meters, inches, feet or made-up units.
3.MD.D.8 Solve perimeter problems for polygons: add side lengths, find a missing side, and compare rectangles with equal perimeters but different areas, or the reverse.
3.G.A.2 Divide shapes into parts of equal area and describe each part with a unit fraction, such as 1/6 of the shape.
