I've read about exit tickets, even used them in class but I hadn't hear about entry tickets until quite recently.Entry tickets are another way to have students mentally warm up rather than using a bell ringer or a standard warm-up.
Warm-ups can be used to review material or be used to determine the amount of prior knowledge for a new topic. Students are given a specific amount of time to finish the entry slip.
Collect the slips and quickly spot check a few to see what students responded but set them aside to analyze later in the day. The information can be used to plan the lesson for the next day.
The nice thing about entry tasks is they do not have to consist of practice problems. The entry activity may require students to compare answers from homework, discuss a problem from yesterday's work, what's the next step in the process, find the mistake and correct it, or it could be as simple as asking them what they didn't understand.
When creating a new entry ticket, decide the purpose.:
1. Are you introducing a new topic by connecting it with their lives such as slope can related to skate boarders.
2. Are you using it to bridge topics between yesterday's lesson and today's lesson.
3. Are you using it to check for understanding.
4. Are you using it to review concepts, key ideas, material from the week.
These are much better than spending the first part of class going over problems.
Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear. Have a great day.
