Lesson Plan

Addition Exit Ticket

Students will be able to solve basic addition problems within 10 using physical counters and record their answers.

This lesson helps students develop foundational addition skills, which are crucial for future mathematical understanding. It also provides teachers with a quick assessment of student comprehension.

Audience

Kindergarten

Time

5 minutes

Approach

Hands-on problem-solving with counters followed by recording answers.

Materials

Small set of counters (10 per student), and Addition Exit Ticket

Prep

Prepare Materials

10 minutes

  • Review the Addition Exit Ticket and make copies for each student.
  • Gather a small set of counters (e.g., 10 per student).

Step 1

Distribute Materials

1 minute

  • Hand out one Addition Exit Ticket to each student.
  • Give each student a small set of 10 counters.

Step 2

Explain Activity

1 minute

  • Say to students: “Today, we’re going to do a quick activity to see how well you understand adding numbers. You will each get an exit ticket with an addition problem and some counters. Your job is to use the counters to solve the problem on your exit ticket.”
  • Show the students the Addition Exit Ticket and point to where they will write their answer.

Step 3

Solve Problems

2 minutes

  • Instruct students: “Use your counters to help you solve the problem on your exit ticket. Once you have the answer, write it in the box.”
  • Circulate around the room to observe students' strategies and provide support as needed.

Step 4
