EXPONENTS! 2 2 Jessica D’Agostino Lesson plan Grades 8 - 9
Table of Contents What is an exponent? How do we write them? Writing Practice! Addition of Exponents 5. Subtraction of Exponents 6. Multiplication of Exponents 7. More Practice, Worksheet, Games!
What are exponents? expression that indicates the number of times the number or expression is to be multiplied by itself EXPONENT VARIABLE Table of Contents Go Back
Back to the basics… 3 * 3 * 3 = 2 * 2 = 9 * 9 = 27 4 81 Table of Contents
How else can we write this? 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 = 2 * 2 = 4 = 9 * 9 = 81 = 3³ 2² 9² Table of Contents
Now it’s your turn! How can we write 5 * 5 ? 5 5² 5⁴ Table of Contents
CORRECT!
How can we write 4³ ? 4 4 * 4 4 * 4 * 4
CORRECT
ADDITION! Table of Contents Same Base! you have to have the same base to add exponents! Same Exponent! you have to have the same exponent! X² X² 2X²
Examples! a. 6² + 6² = 6*6 + 6*6 = 36 + 36 = 72 = 2(6²) 7³ + 5² = 7*7*7 + 5*5 = 343 + 25 = 368 X² + X³ = X³ + X² X³ + 3X³ = 4X³ Table of Contents
SUBTRACTION! The same rules apply as addition! 2x² 5x² 3x² Table of Contents
What is 5X³ + 3X⁴ + 2X⁴? 10X ¹¹ 5X³ + 5X⁸ 5X³ + 5X⁴ Table of Contents
Correct!
MULTIPLICATION! (x3)(x4) = (xxx)(xxxx) = xxxxxxx = x7 Same Base! you have to have the same base in order to combine the exponents. Multiplication is keeping the base and adding the exponents! Table of Contents
What is (x⁴)(x⁵)? X²⁰ X⁷ X⁹
