I used this document to help me organize my small guided math groups. I would use one Google Slides presentation for each unit and just duplicate the pages as needed. In a typical unit I would try and pull small groups for each topic. For example, in our new curriculum for unit 1, I would have small groups for whole number multiplication and then small groups for whole number division. So I would use this one Slides presentation to plan out my centers for each topic.
The template on slide 1 is what I would post in the classroom (or project on the screen). It would provide details for each of the centers including what students should be doing at each one.
The templates on slides 2-6 are different rotation schedules and groups with/without icons.
The template on slides 7-8 is the small group lessons I would do for each group.
The template on slides 10-11 is how I collect my anecdotal notes.
Because this template is on Google Slides, my team would often collaborate and plan different portions of the lesson together. You can include hyperlinks to the different activities to eliminate keeping up with papers.
**Distance Learning tip:
Use this template to plan out differentiated activities for students to complete electronically. The math fluency, at your seat, and hands-on activities could be the same for all students, then make a copy of the first slide for each small group and change the activity in the teacher time section. You could even include a Google Meet or Zoom link with a specific date and time to meet with each small group.
Here is a completed example for you to see:

I removed the hyperlinks from my example so I don't have any copyright issues.
