This resource is part of Tools4NCTeachers.This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 5 Counting and Cardinality 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 identify the number of objects in a group as greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, for numbers 1-5. Students will understand the relationship between number labels (such as "4" naming a collection of four) and quantities. They will understand that counting by ones increases the quantity by one more.

This version of Go Fish allows students to practice recognizing and saying the teen numbers.
