Multiplying and Dividing Exponents Teacher Resources

An algebraic expression and a given value for the variable. Use the substitution property of equality to plug in the given value and solve the expression. Be careful and use the order of operations correctly because there is an exponent...

This video focuses on a series of problems involving exponent properties. Sal demonstrates rational expressions, simplifying fractions, and manipulating algebraic equations using exponents and division.

Create a human fraction to learn about division of exponents. Scholars develop the rule for division of exponents by being part of a human fraction to explore and justify the rule. They also consider zero exponents and negative exponents.

It's easy to become an expert on exponents. Viewers of an educational video first review the properties of exponents. They then see examples covering multiplying and dividing exponents, applying the power property, and rewriting...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

What's the definition of the power of a quotient rule? You have a fraction that has variables and exponents in the numerator and the denominator, and the whole thing is to a power. Oh my! Don't cry! You can do this. Once you see the rule...

It just multiplies out. The lesson provides the rules for operations with exponents and keeps them as positive integers in the lesson. Videos explain the rules for the operations with exponents while working out examples. 

Use the associative property of multiplication to regroup the like terms in this polynomial multiplication expression. Then multiply the terms and make sure it is in simplest form.

A penguin is as cute as can be and can also help demonstrate how to rewrite negative exponents. This clip is very clear and uses a story scenario to describe the actions that take place when multiplying or dividing with a negative exponent.

What is that fraction doing as an exponent? Fun math games prompt learners to practice evaluating radical expressions and expressions containing rational exponents, both in groups and individually.

Are exponent rules different if the exponents are negative? Using the definition of negative exponents and the rules of exponents, the resource shows that the rules of exponents hold independent of the sign of the exponent. Practice...

What's the definition of the power of a quotient rule? You have a fraction that has variables and exponents in the numerator and the denominator, and the whole thing is to a power. Oh my! Don't cry! You can do this. Once you see the rule...

Apply the power of mathematics to the power expressions. The lesson gives examples of expressions that utilize each of the exponent rules to simplify. Once seeing the exponent rules individually, scholars combine them to simplify an...

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,...

Discover how algebra tiles can help in dividing polynomials. Pupils watch as instructors demonstrate how to use algebra tiles to solve problems involving the division of a quadratic expression by a linear expression. Once they get the...

Help learners study polynomials. They will review how to multiply polynomials either by using the FOIL method if they are multiplying a binomial by another binomial, or by using the distributive property.

What's the definition of the quotient of powers rule? Don't confuse this rule with the power of a quotient rule. This quotient of powers rule is quite simple in that you can just subtract. Wow! Take the power from the numerator and...
