Stay tuned for part 2 (an possibly 3) where I will be talking about other formative assessment strategies. Some of which are easier to implement than exit tickets for some people. I also think the Paige Keely book would be worth adding to your reading list if it something you are interested in trying. <br />The Math Maniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177173988483052908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746027850336066537.post-76355433974122964662013-07-16T18:51:54.277-04:002013-07-16T18:51:54.277-04:00This is definitely something I need to work on.

It really helps me make sure kids are learning what I want them to rather than just "covering" the curriculum.

It is so much easier to "tweak" your teaching to what the students really need!
