About this exit tickets
Drawn as vector geometry at real-world dimensions, so it prints at exactly the size shown on A4, A5, A3, US Letter, US Legal. Print at 100% rather than “fit to page” — that setting rescales the sheet and the measurements stop being the measurements.
You can change:
- Slips per page — 2 to 6, 4 by default
- Writing lines — 1 to 6, 3 by default
- Prompt — One thing I learned today, One thing I am still stuck on, Rate your understanding, No prompt
Free, unwatermarked and yours to use for anything, including in a classroom or in something you sell.
Frequently asked questions
What is an exit ticket?+
A short slip students fill in during the last few minutes of a lesson and hand to you on the way out. It is formative assessment at its cheapest: thirty of them take about four minutes to read and tell you what to reteach tomorrow, which no amount of asking whether everyone understood will.
Which prompt should I use?+
One thing I learned today is the safe default and works for almost any lesson. One thing I am still stuck on surfaces misconceptions faster but needs a class that will admit to being stuck. Rate your understanding is quickest to sort into piles. No prompt leaves the slip blank for a question of your own.
Why does the rating scale have four circles rather than five?+
Because an even scale has no middle to hide in. With five options a class will cluster on the third one and tell you nothing; with four, every student has to lean one way or the other.
I asked for six writing lines and got fewer — why?+
Lines are dropped rather than squeezed. Six lines on a quarter-page slip works out at about 4mm apart, which is narrower than most people can write in, so the layout prints the number that will actually fit and leaves it at that. Fewer slips per page gets you more lines on each.
