In exploring the process of learning, exit cards are helpful in eliciting evidence on where students are in their learning. Some exit card ideas include:

• Traffic Lights Exit Slips

A quick survey to find out what students are clear about, unsure of, and need help with provides important evidence of student learning for teachers to adapt their subsequent teaching/lesson(s).

• Reflection Questions

More reflective questions near the end of a unit of work to gather feedback from students on what they found in the lesson(s) which made them feel most engaged and distanced with the subject, affirming/helpful and puzzling/confusing and surprising serve as helpful feedback to inform/adapt the next unit of instruction.

In the context of math, after the teacher has explained the correct answers to a question that most students got wrong in a test or homework, getting students to complete an exit card involving a similar question to the one just explained offers them an opportunity to apply the feedback and demonstrate improved learning (Goh, 2021, p. 35).
