This week in math, students will continue to explore and apply the properties of exponents.
Product of Powers
Quotient of Powers
Power of Powers
Zero Exponents
Negative Exponents
Students will apply these properties to exponential expressions with a variety of bases: integers, rational numbers, variables (with and without coefficients). The properties of exponents unit will be available on Plato on Tuesday. Students may use this to review and practice the properties or for assistance with homework.
Students will take an exponents assessment on Thursday or Friday.
Thereafter, we will move onto square roots and cube roots. In preparation for this unit, students need to understand the following terms:
perfect square
perfect cube
