Applying Properties of Exponents
The properties of exponents are all linked together and it is your mathematicians' job to discover and apply those rules. The comprehensive activity begins with a pre-assessment task to check for prior knowledge and then goes into a...
Alabama Learning Exchange
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.
Mathed Up!
Fractional and Negative Indices
Explore how to deal with fractional and negative exponents. Scholars watch a video reviewing fractional, zero, and negative exponents. After the video, they test their skills by completing a worksheet covering the concepts.
