Eight exit tickets, one for each lesson of a 5th grade unit on expressions and equations, 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, such as an expression to work out step by step or an equation to write for a story, 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. Where more than one answer is right, such as an expression for words or an equation for a story, the key shows one way and says so. Tickets 5.5 to 5.8 are for the states that teach those lessons in this unit; skip the ones your class does not learn. No ticket asks a problem from the practice sheets the lesson plans use. The faces show how students feel about the lesson, the answers show what they can do; the two do not always agree.
Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing together. Ask your child to say each step of an expression aloud in order, starting with the part inside the grouping symbols.

Exit tickets for every lesson of a unit on the order of operations, expressions and equations. Students find the value of expressions with parentheses, brackets and braces, write and compare expressions, and write equations with a letter for stories.
