When you are simply viewing the notification center, right-click on the widget to display a menu that will give you the option to choose the size, remove the widget or even display customization options. Some widgets can be customized: when you are in edit mode, just click on an existing widget to display the options. Note that not all widgets offer different sizes and the information displayed may vary from size to size.

The small symbols allow to toggle the preview of the widget in its different sizes. To add a new widget, simply click on the preview of the relevant widget and it will be added to your notification center (or click on the button ).

To view your widgets, simply click the date or time at the top right of the screen, or swipe left from the right edge of the trackpad with two fingers.
