Look at the work, not just the answer, to see where kids got stuck.
How to use it
- Give the ticket in the last five minutes of the lesson.
- Keep it short: one or two questions are enough.
- Keep a stack of copies in a labeled tray so you can grab one without stopping the lesson.
Watch for
Tickets collected but never used. Sort them the same day to plan tomorrow.
Talk about it
