Zero as an Exponent

The properties of exponents are all linked together and it is your mathematicians' job to discover and apply those rules. The comprehensive lesson begins with a pre-assessment task to check for prior knowledge and then goes into a...

This long division PowerPoint provides students with an overview of how to solve long division problems with a zero in the dividend. There are clearly stated steps in this PowerPoint, as well as an acronym to help students remember the...

Introduce the idea of an undefined solution to your classes. The video instructor simplifies several problems that result in division by zero and an undefined result.

Can zero be an exponent? Yes, it can! Watch as the exponent 0 defeats number after number turning them into the number 1. This video is developmentally sound

The zero of a function is the x-value of a function that makes a function equal zero. I know, it sounds confusing. So watch this video as the teacher demonstrates what this means.

There is one exception to this rule, but all numbers that have a power of zero equal one. Don't believe it? Watch this video as the instructor breaks it down to prove this to be true. This makes solving a problem with a zero exponent...

A mathematic impossibility? What? There's something you can't do in math? Yes! Believe it or not, you can't divide by zero! Watch this video and see the proof.

Is zero positive or is it negative? Are all positive numbers to the right of zero on the number line? Are all negative numbers to the left of zero on the number line? Are all positive numbers greater than zero? Are all negative numbers...

A mathematic impossibility? What? There's something you can't do in math? Yes! Believe it or not, you can't divide by zero! Watch this video and see some examples that show why dividing by zero doesn't make sense.

Travel back thousands of years to the origin of the number system and watch how that development gradually produced the zero symbol. Class members will learn a little bit about math and a little bit about how language is shaped in this...
