Multiplication of Numbers in Exponential Form
Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...
Curated OER
Rational Exponents
Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.

Numbers in Exponential Form Raised to a Power
Develop an understanding of the properties of exponents through this series of activities. This third lesson of 15 explores the patterns associated with the power property. Scholars expand the powers before applying the property.
Mathematics Assessment Project
Representing the Laws of Arithmetic
Sixth graders connect numerical expressions to geometric area. They first complete an assessment task requiring them to identify area models for numerical expressions. Learners then participate in an activity to match area models to...

Extending Patterns with Exponents
Don't think negatively about exponents. Young mathematicians dissect a fictional conversation between pupils trying to evaluate an expression with a negative exponent. This allows them to understand the meaning of negative exponents.

The Law of Large Numbers and Probability
Learners investigate why theoretical probability doesn't always match reality. The activity involves using Python 2.7 (or Sage) to set up a Bernoulli Trial. It also involves setting up a spreadsheet to simulate the Birthday Paradox....
Curated OER
Exploring Exponents
Learners solve problems dealing with exponents. For this algebra lesson, students solve problems using interactive online problems. They create visuals and gain a better understanding of the concepts.
Curated OER
End Behavior of Polynomial Functions
Students identify the end behavior of polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph different polynomials functions and find a correlation between exponents and function behavior. They identify the effect the leading...

Comparing Exponential and Power Functions
High schoolers compare and contrast exponential and power functions. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the value of x, using the graph as a visual. They compare functions with base of greater than one, to base of less than one.
Curated OER
Real Number System
Ninth graders discuss the real number system and its' properties. In this algebra lesson plan, 9th graders discuss rational, irrational, closure, real numbers and the distributive property of algebra. They solve problems using these...
