Warm-up and Exit Ticket
In this printable Warm-up / bell-ringer activity, students will take a quick self-assessment regarding their test-taking abilities and ways in which they can prepare for success on the unit 1 test.
In this Exit Ticket, Students will self-assess how they feel about their strengths and weaknesses going into the test and state one thing they can do to prepare for success.
The Warm-up and Exit Ticket document includes two warm-ups on the front of the page and two exit tickets on the back of the page. This formatting reduces the number of copies needed, as teachers will cut each printed page in half. Each student will receive a half-page with the warm-up on the front and the exit ticket on the back.
