Skills Covered

  • Multiply by multiples of 10 (6 × 40 is 24 tens)
  • Missing factors and stories with tens
  • An equation with ? for an equal groups story
  • Measurement stories with × and ÷
  • Two-step stories with all four operations
  • An equation with a letter for the unknown
  • Round to estimate and check an answer

  • Times as many with a strip diagram
  • True or false equations with × and ÷

How to Use This Pack

Ten exit tickets, one for each lesson of a unit on word problems and multiplying by tens, 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 short questions, most of them story problems with an equation and the answer with its label, 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 keys show one equation for each story; any equation that fits the story is right (24 ÷ 4 = ? or 4 × ? = 24), and any letter will do for the unknown. Tickets 7.8 to 7.10 are for the states that teach those lessons in 3rd grade; skip the ones your class does not learn. The faces show how students feel about the lesson, the answers show what they can do; the two do not always agree. The unit test is a separate pack.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing story problems together. Ask your child what the question is asking before they solve it: how many in all, how many in each group, or how many groups?

Tips for Success

  • Ask students to say what the ? or the letter stands for
  • For 6 × 40, think 6 × 4 tens
  • In a two-step story, the answer to step 1 is a number in step 2
  • Round both numbers to the nearest hundred to check
  • Check that every answer has its label, like 8 rows

Common Core Standards Alignment

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

  • 3.OA.A.3 Solve story problems about equal groups, arrays and measurements by multiplying or dividing within 100, using drawings and equations.
  • 3.OA.A.4 Solve for the missing number in multiplying or dividing equations, such as 7 × ? = 42 or ? ÷ 3 = 6.
  • 3.OA.D.8 Solve two-step story problems with +, −, × and ÷, using a letter for the missing amount, and check answers by estimating or rounding.
  • 3.NBT.A.3 Multiply a single-digit number by a multiple of ten from 10 to 90, such as 4 × 70, using place value and properties.
  • 4.OA.A.1 Read a multiplication equation as a comparison (24 = 3 × 8: 24 is 3 times as many as 8) and write comparisons as equations.
  • 4.OA.A.2 Multiply or divide to solve story problems that compare amounts (times as many), using drawings and equations, and tell them apart from comparing by adding.
  • 4.NBT.B.5 Multiply numbers up to 9,999 by one-digit numbers, and two-digit by two-digit numbers, with place-value strategies shown in equations, arrays or area models.
