In this lesson, we will learn how to identify the base and exponent in power formulas, write them in exponential and expanded forms, and evaluate simple powers.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand that a power is a repeated multiplication,
identify the base and exponent of a power,
write a power in expanded form (repeated multiplication) and vice versa,
evaluate powers of integers and rational numbers with positive integer exponents,
solve real-world problems using powers and exponents,
simplify numerical and simple algebraic expressions by calculating the values of rational numbers raised to a positive integer power.
