What makes these different from other 8th grade math exit tickets?
Unlike standard 8th grade bell ringers and exit tickets that only include additional practice problems, these transformations writing prompts require your 8th grade students to think critically and justify their reasoning. You can think of these math warm ups as content-based, standards-aligned reflection questions.
Ways to use these transformations warm ups in your math class:
Gallery walk – Hang writing prompts around the room and have small groups work to solve the answers. Rotate the students and have the next group add to the previous group’s work with a different strategy, idea, etc.
Test review – Mix and match these exit tickets to assess your students’ understanding of the material before test day.
Daily Math Journal – The vertical version of these task cards can be hole-punched and added to a binder to create a math journal for the beginning or end of class.
Roundtable discussions – Have your students discuss different strategies to solve an application problem.
