A seamless way to start and end every class while assessing understanding of each lesson. This has been a staple in my 6th and 7th grade classrooms. I use this for all subjects and it keeps the students organized and on track for the first and last 3-4 minutes of class. It also requires them to be responsible for their work and keep track of their do now/exit slip until the end of the week when it is turned in and graded in a seamless fashion.

This can be used for all grades to see how each student is feeling about this past school year. It includes an emoji rating scale for them to express how they feel emotionally about this current year. Students will type in the text boxes to elaborate on the given prompts. Some include positive things such as "the best thing that happened this year", and "one thing I learned about each subject". This is a fun way to close out the year and gain a thorough understanding about how each student is cl

Students can work in groups or with partners to apply rules of adding, subtracting, and multiplying positive and negative integers. Red cards represent negative integers and black cards represent positive integers. There is a template to guide students for each operation. I used this as a group game where each student is assigned a specific role. There are two players, one dealer and score keeper, and one person who checks each problem with the calculator to confirm which player wins that round.

Students will reflect on their first marking period grade, and set a goal to achieve a certain target percentage for the following marking period. This can be edited and used for a test/quiz grade or changed for different marking periods. Students will then calculate the percent increase necessary to meet their target percentage and identify two strategies that they will apply in order to assure that they accomplish their goal. This serves as a self reflection and practice with calculating perce

This exit slips assesses students' ability to calculate percent error and percent increase in a real world application. I have provided a screenshot of my actual steps on a given day using my Activity Tracker App on my iPhone. Students will use the estimation provided to calculate the percent of error between the estimation and the actual number of steps. Students will then be assessed on their ability to find the percent increase necessary to meet a given goal for a specific number of steps. I
