Expanded Form: numbers with exponents

For this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

Wow! Here is a handout packed full of tips and worked-out solutions to supplement instruction on fractional exponents. The activity introduces and thoroughly explains the Algebra II concept, and closes with a...

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. This would be a great support to your lesson on...

Eighth graders explore exponents and look for patterns that help to determine the ones place when the base is raised to any power. They use trial and error and seek general solutions. Also, identify patterns in a number sequence.

So you have a given number in expanded form where you have to multiply that same number several times. Make it a little easier for yourself and write it in exponential form. As long as the number has the same base being multiplied you...

Identify the base, identify the exponent, write out the base the number of times indicated by the exponent. Then multiply the base as written out in expanded form. Finally simplify your answer and you will have just evaluated an exponent.

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.
