Exit tickets

Find out what stuck before they leave the room

Marking thirty books tells you on Thursday what you needed on Tuesday. An exit ticket is three questions on a half page, handed in at the door, sorted into two piles on the way out - and the pile that got it wrong is next lesson’s starter.

  • Three questions, half a page, no marking scheme needed
  • Each question targets one idea from the lesson
  • Sorts into got-it and not-yet in one pass

What's included

What you get

  • An answer the same day

    You know before the class has left whether the explanation landed, which is the only point at which knowing is still useful.

  • One idea per question

    A wrong answer names the misconception rather than saying “something went wrong” - so the reteach is five minutes, not the whole lesson again.

  • Feeds the next starter

    The not-yet pile is the next lesson’s opener. Two sheets that work together rather than two more things to plan.

In the classroom

How they get used

  1. Step 1

    Half a page each, four to a sheet

    Printed four up and cut once, so a class set is one sheet of paper and no colour - the practical difference between a routine that survives a term and one that does not.

  2. Step 2

    Handed in at the door

    Last three minutes, names on, into your hand on the way out. Nothing to collect in, nothing left in a book you will not see until Friday.

  3. Step 3

    Two piles, then plan

    Sort into got-it and not-yet while the room empties. The second pile is both your reteach list and the group you sit together next lesson.

Exit tickets at KS3

Exit tickets are a KS3 format - the KS3 page shows every resource type the library holds there.
