These exit tickets provide a quick and effective way to assess students' understanding of key integer concepts, including positive and negative integers, number lines, Cartesian planes, comparing and ordering. Designed to take only a few minutes at the end of each lesson, they help teachers identify areas for reinforcement while giving students an opportunity to reflect on their learning.

How to Use:

Distribute the appropriate exit ticket at the end of the lesson. Students complete a series of short, targeted questions that align with the lesson’s key concepts. Collect the tickets to assess individual understanding and identify common strengths or misconceptions. This package includes exit tickets based on the following concepts:

1. Understanding Integers in Real Life
2. Integers on a Number Line
3. Comparing & Ordering Integers
4. Cartesian Planes
5. Real-World Integer Problems

Additional Tips:

1. Review Together: Go through a few examples as a class to clarify expectations before students complete their tickets.
2. Immediate Feedback: Use exit tickets to provide quick, individualised feedback that informs your planning for the next lesson.
3. Differentiate Support: For students needing extra help, provide prompts to guide their responses.

Extension Ideas:

1. Peer Sharing: Have students swap and discuss their exit tickets in pairs to share strategies and learning.
2. Class Data: Use the collected exit tickets to create a chart of areas where the class excels or needs more support.
3. Challenge Questions: For fast finishers, add a bonus question requiring students to order more challenging integers, such as those below -20 and beyond.

These exit tickets are an excellent tool for tracking progress, providing feedback, and ensuring students master essential integer skills.
