Admit slips are brief written exercises or prompts used at the beginning of a class to engage students, assess prior knowledge, or introduce new topics. These quick activities serve as an entry point to the day’s lesson and can help teachers gauge student understanding or readiness.

Purposes of admit slips include:

• Activating prior knowledge
• Encouraging reflection on previous lessons
• Introducing new concepts or vocabulary
• Assessing student attitudes or opinions
• Promoting critical thinking

Admit slips can take various forms, such as short-answer questions, predictions, or personal connections to the topic. They provide valuable feedback to teachers and help students transition into the learning mindset at the start of class.
