Shmoop: Introduction to Exponents

Problem solve using exponents. Pupils read One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale and write powers to represent amounts from the story.They compare actual solutions to their predictions and play a game to practice using...

Sal crafts a demonstration around one of his "most misspelled words" - logarithms - in this thorough and understandable video. He defines a logarithm before using several examples to illustrate his point. Sal makes learning this concept...

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

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...

Behold the power of exponents! Focus on exponents and terminology related to exponents in an instructive concept video. Four problem videos cover examples in evaluating exponents, including expressions involving variables.

Exponents are described as representing repeated multiplication. The zero exponent is explained by observing a pattern that occurs when descending exponent values are applied to a common base.

This resource has three sets of problems. Each set has six questions for practicing exponent. Select a problem set, then select a question. Fill in the blank with the correct answer for each problem. When you have answered all of the...

This ten-question, multiple-choice quiz assesses students' knowledge on the concept of exponents. Students evaluate exponential numbers, the sum of exponential numbers, and the difference of exponential numbers. A summary of the results...

Build a foundational understanding of exponent patterns. Young scholars manipulate the bases of exponent expressions. They discover the meaning of negative exponents through their exploration.

Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson plan. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.
