Nine exit tickets, one for each lesson of the 5th grade unit on adding and subtracting fractions, 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, 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. Ticket 7.1 (prime numbers and factor trees) is for the states that teach it in 5th grade; skip it if your class does not. Tickets 7.3 and 7.5 ask for the least common denominator, and the sums and differences after them for simplest form: watch for answers like 3 5/10 left as they are. On ticket 7.9 a mixed number or a fraction greater than 1 is right, as the key shows. No ticket asks a problem from the practice sheets the lesson plans use.
Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Ask your child how much ribbon is left when 3/4 yard is cut from 2 1/2 yards, and to show how they traded 1 whole.

Exit tickets for every lesson of a unit on adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Students find common factors and multiples, rename, compare, add and subtract fractions, estimate with benchmarks and solve story problems, one quick ticket at the end of each lesson.
