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...

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.

Learn to gain power in finding derivatives. The resource introduces the power rule. Using the sliders in the interactive, pupils create polynomial functions and find their derivatives. Given the derivative of a polynomial, learners...

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...

So many rules and so little time. Make it easy and provide all the exponent and radical rules in one place as an easy reference guide. All of the properties come with several examples to show how the rules apply to different problems. 

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. 

What happens if the exponent is negative? The resource takes a look at a problem two different ways, with one resulting in a negative exponent. The approach provides an explanation of how to evaluate negative exponents. 

A neat and organized formula handout makes the circle go round, doesn't it? Full of higher algebra topics, formulas and rules, graphs and definitions—there is a way to support everyone in Algebra II or Pre-Calculus. 

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...

Get back to the basics to become an expert. The short video shows the basics of dividing algebraic expressions. Using several examples, the presenter reminds viewers of the rules of exponents when dividing. Pupils practice dividing...

Use a straightforward approach to understanding logarithmic properties and their role in solving exponential and logarithmic equations to your math class. The lesson begins with an overview of a logarithmic function and its...

A detailed look at how to simplify expressions with exponents and how to apply the rules for exponents. Lots of examples included. The third page provides an interactive widget to use for simplifying expressions with exponents.

Step-by-step explanations of the exponent laws including rules for combining powers and roots. Includes practice exercises.
