## EXIT TICKET 1: Quick Classification

**Type:** Content Understanding

**The Exit Ticket:**
Look at the angles below. Write A for acute, R for right, or O for obtuse under each angle.

[Simple drawings of 4 angles: 45°, 90°, 120°, 30°]

1. _____ 2. _____ 3. _____ 4. _____

**What It Reveals:**
- Can students identify angle types visually?
- Any confusion between acute and obtuse?

**Analysis Method:**
Sort into stacks: All 4 correct / 3 correct / 2 or fewer
Note which angle types caused errors

**Follow-Up Actions:**
- If most miss obtuse: review "greater than 90" concept
- If most mix acute/obtuse: use the "right angle comparison" strategy
- If most got it: move to measuring tomorrow

## EXIT TICKET 2: Real-World Connection

**Type:** Application

**The Exit Ticket:**
Draw ONE example of each angle type that you might see in real life. Label each.

| Acute Angle | Right Angle | Obtuse Angle |
|-------------|-------------|--------------|
| Draw here:  | Draw here:  | Draw here:   |
| Real-life example: _____ | Real-life example: _____ | Real-life example: _____ |

**What It Reveals:**
- Can students transfer knowledge to real contexts?
- Which angle types are hardest to visualize?

**Analysis Method:**
Check: Accurate drawings? Reasonable real-world examples?
Look for: Copied classroom examples vs. original thinking

**Follow-Up Actions:**
- Share creative examples at start of next class
- Address any consistently incorrect angle types
- Use popular real-world examples as reference points

## EXIT TICKET 3: Explain Your Thinking

**Type:** Content + Metacognitive

**The Exit Ticket:**
Circle the OBTUSE angle: A) 45° B) 90° C) 135° D) 15°

How did you figure it out? Write your thinking:
_________________________________

**What It Reveals:**
- Can students apply the definition?
- What reasoning strategy are they using?

**Analysis Method:**
Correct answer: C
Sort by reasoning:
- "It's bigger than 90"
- "It's the only one over 90"
- "I just knew" (may need more probing)
- Incorrect reasoning (reveals misconception)

**Follow-Up Actions:**
- Celebrate clear explanations
- Address common reasoning errors
- Build on successful strategies

## EXIT TICKET 4: Reflection + Question

**Type:** Reflection

**The Exit Ticket:**
Complete both sentences:

1. Today I learned that angles are classified by _________________.

2. One thing I'm still wondering about angles is _________________.

Rate how confident you feel about angles: 😊 😐 😕

**What It Reveals:**
- What key takeaways did students form?
- What gaps or confusions remain?
- Self-reported confidence levels

**Analysis Method:**
Read sentence 1: Did they capture the key idea (size/degrees/compared to 90)?
Collect sentence 2 questions: Group by theme
Compare confidence with actual performance

**Follow-Up Actions:**
- Address top 3 most common questions
- Pair confident students with less confident for peer support
- Adjust tomorrow's pacing based on overall confidence
