Volume unit contains over 135 pages and 34 google slides that address the concept of measuring the volume of liquids using the METRIC system. It first explores the appropriate unit of measure (milliliters, liters, and cm3) and then introduces the concept of actually calculating the volume of a container that is a cube or rectangular prism. This material was specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism. This unit on volume addresses various units of measurement and tools in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on measuring and calculating volume. This repetition encourages a true understanding of measuring length. Finally, many of the volume 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.

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. 

I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future.
