This file contains easy to implement math center ideas for Kindergarten, Cluster 1.
This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 1, geometry standards.
Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day.
At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.

In this lesson, students will sort items into groups. They will use
counting to analyze the organized items and answer the question "How many?"
For this activity, students sort counters into two categories on a graph. Students count the number in each category, write the numbers, and tell a friend which category has more counters and which category has fewer counters.
