Center, radius and diameter of a circle

How to Use This Pack

Eight exit tickets, one for each lesson of a 5th grade unit on classifying shapes and angles, 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. 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. The tickets use the marks students learn in the unit: ticks for equal sides, arrows for parallel sides and small squares for right angles. Animal Math defines a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, and every answer here is the same if your class uses exactly one pair. Tickets 12.6 (measuring and sorting angles: Oklahoma, Virginia), 12.7 (the angles of a triangle: Virginia) and 12.8 (circles: Indiana) are for the states that teach them in 5th grade; students need a protractor for ticket 12.6, and every angle is a whole number of degrees at its true size. No ticket asks a problem from the practice sheets the lesson plans use.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Look for squares, rectangles and other quadrilaterals around the house, and ask your child for every name that fits each one.

Tips for Success

Read the marks aloud before naming a shape: equal sides, parallel sides, right angles
Ask "what group is it in, and what does every shape in that group have?"
Have students say why a square is a rectangle and a rhombus
Line up the protractor's center with the vertex and its zero with one ray
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:

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.
5.G.B.3 Know that a shape in a smaller group has every feature of the larger group: squares are rhombuses, so all squares have four equal sides.
5.G.B.4 Sort flat shapes into a hierarchy by their properties, such as polygons, quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles and squares.

5th Grade Shapes and Angles Exit Tickets

5th Grade

Exit tickets for every lesson of a unit on classifying shapes and angles, from regular polygons to the quadrilateral hierarchy. Each page holds one ticket four times to cut apart, with quick questions on triangles and quadrilaterals read from their marks, the properties a group passes on, measuring and sorting angles, the angles of a triangle and circles.
