Features

  • Two quick questions a ticket
  • An "I can" line and three faces for students to rate themselves
  • Name lines and segments with symbols, draw a ray from its name, and draw a parallel line on dot paper
  • Sort angles, count a shape's angles by kind, and find the degrees in part of a turn
  • Measure and draw angles with a protractor, every angle a whole number of degrees at true size
  • Find an unknown angle with an equation, sort triangles and draw a right triangle, and find right angles and parallel sides
  • Tickets 14.10 and 14.12 (the quadrilateral family, and the faces, edges and vertices of solids) are for the states that teach them in 4th grade
  • Answer keys for every ticket

How to Use This Pack

Twelve exit tickets, one for each lesson of the 4th grade unit on lines, angles and shapes, 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. Students need a protractor for tickets 14.5 and 14.6; every angle is a whole number of degrees at its true size, so it measures right on a copy of any size. Sort the tickets into three piles (got it, almost, not yet) to plan tomorrow's small groups. Tickets 14.10 (the quadrilateral family: Indiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia) and 14.12 (solid figures: Oklahoma, Virginia) are for the states that teach them in 4th grade. The drawing questions have more than one right answer where the key says "One way". 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. Open a door part way and talk about the turn, and look for right angles and parallel lines in windows, books and tables.

Tips for Success

  • Line up the protractor's center with the vertex and its zero with one ray
  • Ask "is it more or less than a right angle?" before reading a scale
  • A ray is named from its endpoint
  • Keep dot paper and protractors on the tables
  • 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:

  • 3.G.A.1 See that shapes like rhombuses, rectangles and squares share features, such as four sides, that make them all quadrilaterals; draw quadrilaterals outside those groups.
  • 4.MD.C.5a Know an angle's size is the share of a circle (centered at its vertex) between its rays; one degree is 1/360 of a full turn.
  • 4.MD.C.5b Know that an angle made of some number of one-degree turns measures that many degrees, so 50 one-degree turns make 50°.
  • 4.MD.C.6 Use a protractor to find the size of an angle to the nearest whole degree, and draw angles of a given size.
  • 4.MD.C.7 Know that angle measures add up when an angle is split into parts, and find unknown angles in diagrams by adding or subtracting, using equations.
  • 4.G.A.1 Draw and find points, lines, line segments, rays, right, acute and obtuse angles, and parallel and perpendicular lines, including in flat shapes.
  • 4.G.A.2 Sort flat shapes by whether they have parallel or perpendicular lines or angles of a certain size, and recognize right triangles as a group.
  • 4.G.A.3 Find a line of symmetry, a fold line that makes two matching parts; pick out shapes that have one and draw their lines of symmetry.

4th Grade Lines, Angles and Shapes Exit Tickets

Exit tickets for every lesson of a unit on lines, angles and shapes. Each page holds one ticket four times to cut apart, with lines and rays to name and draw, angles to sort, measure and draw with a protractor, triangles and shapes to sort, and lines of symmetry.
