Exit Tickets

An exit ticket is an ideal way to end class as it provides the teacher a means to challenge the student with a question requiring some application of what was learned in that day’s lesson. The prompt or question should require only a brief time to respond to, certainly no more than five minutes, but perhaps only 1-2 minutes. An exit ticket is not intended to be a simple, quick summary and not a major task. The responses should not be part of formal assessment, but it can provide valuable feedback to the teacher.

The video below quickly demonstrates how students studying functional relationships in Algebra can use the Sock Puppets app as an exit ticket strategy to show that they know the difference between a function and a relation.
