Planning:
Materials (e.g. Props/Manipulatives): Whiteboards, dry erase markers, towels, cubes, dice, paper clip, worksheets (games), pencil
Technology / Visuals: SmartBoard, Computers
Groupings: The groups will rotate through each of the centers in these groups (these are grouped by each students level):
1: Gavin, Daniel, Dillon, Luis, Andrea, Karolina, Giada, Ava
2: Leah, Almina, Geri, Christopher, Mateo, Mario, Yariel
3: Hilsanyely, Aliye, Christian, Kaisley, Kaylee, Ana

centers if they need too. I will then
introduce each of the centers to the
class. I will do a brief overview of each
one so they are aware of what they are
doing at each center.

The four centers that each of the three

Centers groups will be rotating through are the
following.
Center 1: Teacher Time (Practice
Strategy)
This center is with me. I will be using
the skill (subtracting with a number
line) to provide practice with each small
group. I will provide examples to
practice with for each group. I will use
the Smart Board for the number line. I
will also be assessing each student

understands the material, etc. I will be
working closely with the students to see
where they are with the skill and
strategy. I will ask the students to write
down and solve the problems on their
white boards and then we will go over
each of them together.

Center 2: Math by Myself (Fact Fluency)

This center is done at each students
desk individually. Each student will grab
a paper clip, pencil, dry erase marker,
dry erase towel, and a game board. The
objective of this center is for the
students to practice their math. They
are to place the game board down,
place the paper clip on the spinner,
place the point on the pencil in the
paper clip then spin. Whatever number
the paper clip lands on, the student
must take that number and
subtract/add three. They must then
find the answer and shade in the
corresponding number box on the
graph.

Center 3: Math with Others (Fact

Fluency)
This center is a game called Bump!.
The purpose is for the students to
practice their math facts. The students
have colored cubes and a game board
with pumpkins with numbers inside.
The player whose name comes first in
the alphabet goes first, followed
clockwise. Each student is to roll the
dice, add the dice numbers together,
find the pumpkin with their number
and place a cube there. If the same
person gets the same number, they can
stack their cubes up. If another player
gets a number where a different
players cube is, then they can bump
that cube off to put theirs down.

Center 4: Tech Time (Fact Fluency)

In this center, the students will be
using the computers to play a math fact
software game called: Fact Dash
(https://www.mhschool.com/math/2009/ca/
assets/factdash.html). This provides the
students with timed practice with their
subtraction facts.

first center. The students will be at each
center for roughly 7-8 minutes each. I
will then ring the bell and the students
will go back to their seats to listen to
which center their group goes too next.
I will continue this process until all the
groups have been to each center
(rotate three times).
 After all of the groups have completed The students will clean up all the centers and sit back in their floor spots. They

everything is cleaned up, I will ask them
to come sit in their floor spot for a
discussion. I will ask the students how
they think they did in centers and what
they think about the new strategy they
have learned (using a number line to
subtract). I will also ask the students to
provide some feedback on how they
think they did with the overall lesson
today, such as what was their best
work, what might they need to work
on, etc.

Differentiated Instruction:
Each of the groups for the centers in differentiated by the level of each individual student (above, average, low). They took a base line math
assessment to determine their level.
High: Gavin, Daniel, Dillon, Luis, Andrea, Karolina, Giada, Ava
Average: Leah, Almina, Geri, Christopher, Mateo, Mario, Yariel
Low: Hilsanyely, Aliye, Christian, Kaisley, Kaylee, Ana
