This is a live class. Please note that I also offer a flex version of this class here: https://outschool.com/classes/understanding-and-working-with-exponents-oYEasQKR?sectionUid=062435fe-237c-4ebc-aeb3-baf30810b408&usid=AKt43137&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link In this three-session course, students will explore and discover the rules of exponents. I scaffold this lesson in such a way that learners are guided from basic exponent terminology all the way through operating with exponents that are negative numbers or fractions. Session 1: Parts of an Exponential Expression Exponential vs Expanded vs Standard Notation Discovery: Product Rule Discovery: Power of a Power Rule Practice problems with the rules discovered in Session 1 Session 2: Review of Practice Problems Discovery: Quotient Rule Discovery: Power of a Product/Quotient Rule Practice problems with the rules discovered in Session 2 Session 3: Review of Practice Problems Discovery: Negative Exponent Rule Discovery: Zero Exponent Rule Discovery: Fractional Exponent Rule Students will be provided with an additional set of practice problems covering the rules discovered in Session 3. An answer key will be provided so that learners or parents can check their work. This course addresses the following Common Core Math Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.A.1 Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.A.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.RN.A.1 Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.RN.A.2 Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
