The properties of exponents are all linked together and it is your mathematicians' job to discover and apply those rules. The comprehensive lesson begins with a pre-assessment task to check for prior knowledge and then goes into a discussion task. A matching activity is introduced to see how different rules relate to different expressions followed by a individual post-assessment.
