How to Use This Pack

Eight exit tickets, one for each lesson of the money and financial literacy unit, 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 and bills are drawn from real money pictures, coins at their true sizes next to each other.

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. Every lesson in this unit comes from state standards: tickets 14.1 to 14.3 (counting money, enough money and comparing, making change) are taught in 3rd grade in Indiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia (making change in Virginia), and tickets 14.4 to 14.8 are the Texas financial literacy lessons; use the ones your class learns. Every amount of bills and coins is $5.00 or less. The unit test is a separate pack and asks none of these problems.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Count the money in a wallet, pay for something small and count on to check the change, and talk about how much of a week's money to save, spend and give.

Tips for Success

  • Keep play bills and coins on the tables
  • Count the bills first, then count on with the coins
  • Count on from the price to make change, smallest coin first
  • Ask "is there enough for everyone who wants one?" before scarce or plentiful
  • 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.
