Integer Exponents, Scientific Notation and Volume
A one-stop resource for exponents, square and cube roots, scientific notation, and volume formulas guides learners through properties of exponents. As they learn to apply these properties to operations with scientific notation,...
Curated OER
Negative Exponents
Learners solve negative exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, students define the properties for rewriting functions with negative and zero exponents. They use a robot to create a visual of what is happening to the negative...

The Order of Operations
Your learners use many different number representations like positive and negative integers, exponents, radicals, and combinations of operations as they learn and strengthen their use of the order of operations. Thoughtfully organized to...

Estimating Quantities
Apply the concept of magnitude to estimate values and compare numbers. The ninth lesson of the 15-part series asks learners to write numbers to their next greatest power of 10 and then make comparisons. Scholars begin to understand the...
Curated OER
Exponent Power
Students explore multiplication and division problems using exponents. Students examine positive, negative and zero powers. They relate powers to geometric sequences. Students devise strategies and discover rules of exponents.

Square Roots and Exponents
Eleventh graders solve problems with roots and exponents. In this algebra lesson, 11th graders use the properties of powers to help them multiply, add, subtract and divide exponential functions. They take the square root of rational and...
Curated OER
Exploring Power Functions 2
Young mathematicians learn to write algebraic equations. They solve and graph different polynomial functions with different powers. They then graph radicals and identify the domain and range.
Illustrative Mathematics
Graphs of Power Functions
This activity consists of three exercises in which learners sketch the graphs of various power functions on the same axes. They use their sketches to make comparisons and observations which lead to generalizations about the graphs...
