Apply the properties of exponents to expressions with negative exponents. The fifth lesson in the series explains the meaning of negative exponents through an exploration of the properties taught in the previous lessons of the...

Apply pupil understanding of exponent properties to prove the relationships. In the sixth lesson of the series, individuals are expected to prove relationships using mathematical statements and reasoning.

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...

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.

Explore the connection between operations with scientific notation and the laws of exponents. Scholars work on a set of word problems involving operations with scientific notation. Along the way, they consider how the laws of exponents...

Apply the concept of magnitude to estimate values and compare numbers. The ninth instructional activity of the 15-part series asks learners to write numbers to their next greatest power of 10 and then make comparisons. Scholars begin to...

What in the world is the zeroth power? Examine the patterns of exponents as they apply to the zeroth power. Scholars apply the zero property to simple exponential expressions in this fourth lesson plan in a series of 15. The examples...

Need worksheets that challenge your middle schoolers to apply their understanding of math? Problem solved! From integers, fractions, and percents, to algebra, geometry, and probability, over 100 pages of word problem worksheets...

Demonstrate the use of scientific notation within word problems. The lesson plan presents problems with large numbers best represented with scientific notation. Pupils use these numbers to solve the problems in the 11th installment in a...

Examine numbers in scientific notation as a comparison of size. The 14th lesson in the series asks learners to rewrite numbers as the same power of 10 in scientific notation to make comparisons. Pupils also learn how to use a calculator...

A smorgasbord of functions, this packet has the basics required for your learners to be successful in the land of early algebra. The packet includes solving equations, graphing, evaluating, simplifying and basically everything else...

The laws of exponents are presented using expressions containing both positive and negative exponents. Several examples and exercises are given to help practice the concept.

The purpose of this task is to solve some expressions requiring fractional exponents in the modeling context of planetary motion. Aligns with N-RN.A.2.

This 2-part tutorial investigates exponents and radicals. Students learn about the concepts through class notes and practice problems. Topics include types of exponents, rational form, and exponential form. Radicals are discussed in Part...

The purpose of the task is to connect properties of fractional exponents with ordering of real numbers. Aligns with N-RN.A.2.

At first glance, this might seem like an impossible problem because the number $7^{2011}$ is much too large to evaluate even with a calculator. It requires a starting point, and, to many, such a starting point might not be obvious....
