Description
This unit on Exponents focuses has almost 200 pages of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school. This unit starts with a review of repeated addition, and then moves into repeated multiplication as a way to express exponents. There are many, many worksheet for students to practice with and without pictures how to read and interpret exponents, sequences and graphs. There are MANY opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on these very abstract and challenging concepts. This repetition helps students develop learning patterns. In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation and options for presentation.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
