Lesson: Simplifying Monomials: Zero Exponents Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to simplify monomials with an exponent of zero, as any nonzero number raised to the zero power is equal to one.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand that a power with a nonzero base and a zero exponent is equivalent to dividing the base raised to any nonzero power by the base raised to the same power, that is, to 1,
evaluate a number raised to the zero power,
simplify monomials raised to the zero power.
