Six exit tickets, one for each lesson of a 5th grade unit on the area and perimeter of polygons, 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 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. Every lesson in this unit is one some states teach in 5th grade: use the tickets for the lessons your class learns. 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 whether each answer is an area or a perimeter, and to say its unit.

Exit tickets for every lesson of a unit on the area and perimeter of polygons, from rectangles with fraction sides to triangles, trapezoids and estimates. Students find area and perimeter with fraction and decimal sides, split shapes made of rectangles, use the area formulas for triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids, and estimate perimeters.
