Mariko+Dibble's+centers

Mariko Dibble's 6th grade centers (students do not rotate, the work does)

=  Mariko Dibble’s centers   = =  Center Procedures   = 1. Pass cards 2. Write problem 3. Solve 4. Pass 5. Next group use the back of the card to check (answer for the previous groups problem is placed on the back of the card). 6. Do new problem Template for two papers to be rotated: Fold until students get 8 cells. Number them 1-8.
 * Make a template for expected work. Have students show you on their white boards. **
 * 3-2-1- show me  **
 * A’s raise your hands  **
 * Explain to B’s how to solve this problem  **
 * Checks for understanding (cold calls) several B members using equity cards. She then asks the class to answer the question as a whole. (chorally) **
 * She then reviews the procedure with two more students-  **
 * Now pair share.  **
 * A’s if you agree with B’s you may now solve the problem.  **
 * Knock, Knock, who’s there? Christian. Christian who? Christian then gives the answer to the question.  **
 * Knock, Knock, who’s there? Class. Class who? The class then gives the answer to the question.  **
 * She now gives the next question and asks them to solve independently. **
 * Debriefs class and wraps up lesson. Class gives responses . Then students respond to three questions using equity cards.  **
 * Rotation Practice:  **
 * Are we all going to start on #1? Why aren’t we starting on #1? Because we start with the number of the card at our center. You should get the same answer as your partner, if not you need to discuss.  **
 * A’s hold up papers. Rotate A’s papers only with the card. Rotate the cards like a wave. Now pass. Practice with papers only first. Continue passing. Passing it quietly is a criterion for procedure. Now solve. ….. Now pass….Check the back of the card. Is the problem correct? If not highlight the error and correct. Now do the rotated problem…   **
