2.  What did you learn in today’s class?  (short answer)

3.  Answer the teacher’s question.  (short answer)  Example:  Describe how to measure a line segment to the nearest ¼”.

Students will visit the Socrative website to log in using the classroom code provided within the teacher account. This takes place after the teacher “launches” the Exit Ticket from the teacher login. Once students have answered the questions the Exit Ticket can be “finished” by the teacher using the orange “finish” button and reports can be generated.
