What is a Ticket to Leave?

Hopefully you have seen math papers coming home with your student each day! One of these papers is called a 'Ticket to Leave.' This is a formative assessment that students complete each day to demonstrate their understanding of the material that was covered in the day's lesson. Today's 'Ticket to Leave' looks something like this:

The numbers in the top corner are the grading system. E stands for Exceeds Expectations, M stands for Meets Expectations, WT stands for Working Towards Expectations and B stands for Beginning to Understand. I use the information that the assessments give me to provide additional instruction for students who need it. The challenge or bonus questions on each assessment are always optional. 

Tickets to Leave are a great way to keep up with what your child is learning in math and to ask them more about it. If you have any questions feel free to email me!
