Good pupils always follow the rules! An engaging lesson explores recursive and explicit rules. The third in a three-part series asks individuals to write and read recursive rules from graphs and tables and then develop...

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.

All hail the king! Young mathematicians put their skills to the test as they strive to become the king of math.

What better way to celebrate students' birthdays than by creating original math problems? In this open ended challenge, young mathematicians must make numerical expressions using parentheses, exponents, and three other operations that...

All numerical expressions are not created equal. This quick exit card problem challenges young mathematicians' understanding of the order of operations as they try to determine which of five expressions are equivalent. Include this...

Go back in time and do the math for the major land purchases in US history. An activity testing skills in scientific notation and exponent rules allows learners to research the three major land purchases and use those findings for their...

Both positive and negative numbers play a part in this video. Here, Sal explains the definition and function of exponents. Especially helpful for those with the tendency to multiply an integer by its exponent, this video offers several...

What is the difference between an arithematic sequence and a geometric sequence? In an arithematic sequence the constant ratio is added, and in a geometric sequence the constant ratio is multiplied. Watch this video and learn how to use...

Subtract polynomials? Huh? First off, find the additive inverse of the number you are subtracting. Next, rewrite the polynomials one on top of the other. Make sure to line up the like terms and then write in placeholders. Now, add the...

A quick lesson on how to write an exponential expression in expanded form. All you have to do is write out the base number the identified number of times as represented by the power.

How do you determine the degree of a term? How do you determine the degree of a polynomial? Oh my! Observe the teacher as she shows you just how to figure out the degrees, first of terms, then of polynomials.

A monomial raised to a power needs to be multiplied. No problem. Use the product of a power rule and the power of a power rule too. Now all that needs to be done is to simplify the product.

Just watch this video for a very thorough explanation, step-by-step, on how to work with negative exponents. The instructor explains how it is possible that negative exponents and inverses and fractions are connected in this situation....

Looking for the least common multiple, not the greatest common factor. It's so easy to mix these up. It may seem a little confusing at first because there are variables and exponents in the monomial examples. Watch this video and get...

Practice using the product of powers rule to simplify an expression. Remember that only like-bases can be put together. Use the commutative property of multiplication to rearrange the terms and then use the formula to combine terms. Now...

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...

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.

The problems in this video contain additional examples of scientific notation, continued from the previous presentation. Viewers have the opportunity to see Sal work through several more problems using the same techniques he has been...

The relationship between radical expressions and exponents is never clearer than in this video, which addresses radical expressions with higher roots. Sal takes time to explain not only the process of solving these problems, but the...

Sal gets to the heart of the matter in this video, clarifying that it's important to understand math "so you can actually apply it in life later on and not have relearn everything every time." True to his word, Sal demonstrates ways to...

Here is a negative exponents worksheet where there are a total of 47 problems. It is divided into three sections. Each section states a rule for working with negative exponents, gives an example of how to use the rule to solve the...

For this parent graphs worksheet, 11th graders solve and graph 6 different problems that include graphing on a coordinate plane shown for each equation. First, they draw a parent graph for each shown equation. Then, students determine...

In this graphing calculator worksheet, students explore the necessary steps in using a graphing calculator to simply square root, cubed root, and xth root functions. Afterwards, they independently solve three story problems involving...

In this math worksheet, students use a graphing calculator to solve nine multi step problems with order of operations with exponents. Directions and diagrams about what buttons to push are included.
