This task focuses on using the verbal definition of the logarithm to understand that a logarithm is an exponent. Learners complete six computational exercises using the inverse properties of logs and exponents and answer two...

Have you ever wondered how many ants make up an elephant? Inquisitive minds will be amazed as they use scientific notation to compute and compare the mass of an elephant to an ant. Have participants make guesses and see how close they...

Sometimes what seems like the easiest problem is really the most difficult. Your class is first going to reach for their calculators, but will realize the number is too large to evaluate. Now what? This is where the fun and the...

This activity consists of three exercises in which learners sketch the graphs of various power functions on the same axes. They use their sketches to make comparisons and observations which lead to generalizations about the graphs...

Use these examples to learn the power to a power exponent rule. The steps are easy to follow and will help students remember the laws of exponents.

"Why is any number raised to the zero power equal to one?" A good question and an even better answer

This site reviews the basic properties of exponents, and explains rational exponents and exponential functions, including those with base "e." Provides examples and lots of exercises.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains many topics related to exponents, including the product rule, power rule, and quotient rule. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the...

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains many topics involving negative exponents, including the power of a quotient rule, the quotient of two powers rule, the definition of a negative exponent, and scientific notation. There...

Students learn about the laws of exponents through this algebra resource. A learning tutorial and practice problems to check for comprehension of the math concepts are included.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains many topics related to algebraic expressions. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point this site out to...

Review the concept of exponents and what it means to take a number "to a power." This is a good resource for a beginning unit on exponents. An online practice worksheet is available.

This site explains how to evaluate exponents of positive and negative numbers. The site provides games and exercises to practice the skill.

The lesson from WyzAnt begins with a review of the definition of exponents then proceeds to several examples which show the definition in action. Special cases such as those involving negative bases as well as the zero exponent and the...

At this site from Oswego City School District, students are shown the basic laws which govern simplifying positive, negative, and zero exponents. Examples are provided during the explanations, and then practice problems (and their...

In this math tutorial, practice working a problem with an exponent and see how accurate you are.

In a format like TV's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," students answer math questions about radicals to earn points and help their group win the game. Teachers need to create their own question bank, which allows this game to be used for...

Simple multiplication problems are provided from WyzAnt for students in this interactive, twenty-question quiz. Students enter their answers and then have the site correct them. Questions contain either two or three terms each and...

Interactive lessons are provided for many topics in algebra, including: laws of algebra, powers, roots and radicals, algebraic expressions, equations, and more. Use the links to navigate the tutorial and learn more focused concepts. The...

These are five interactive units for Elementary math. Each unit is structured in four parts: explanation, activities, dictionary and assessment.
