In this episode of The Modern Math Teacher, we’re diving deep into one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for any math teacher: exit tickets. If you’re looking for a quick, effective way to check for understanding and gather valuable insights about your students, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through why exit tickets matter, practical ways to use them, and how to leverage the data to adjust your teaching for maximum impact. Plus, I’ll share how I personally combine exit tickets with self-assessment to streamline my planning and focus on the students who need extra support.

What's inside:

• 📊 Why exit tickets are so effective for student reflection and teacher insight.
  ✏️ Practical types of exit tickets you can start using tomorrow—from sample problems to “rate your understanding.”
  💡 How to use the data from exit tickets to shape your next lesson, small group, or warm-up.
  💻 My favorite tech tools for making exit tickets more efficient and organized.
