Multiplying and Dividing Exponents

What an awesome class we had today reviewing the rules of multiplying and dividing Exponents with the same base. Taking the time to work through our Flippable to add as a resource will definitely make the practice problems so much easier. Remember, it takes 28 days to make a habit so keep practicing.

 We started with a basic three flap Flippable with our Exponent Rule Names written on each flap.

Next up it was time to start adding the information! First up was Multiplying Exponents with the Same Base. We all know that means to add the exponents!

Next up was Dividing Exponents with the Same Base. Well, if we added for multiplying we must subtract for dividing! You can also see the extra examples we added in from favorite numbers of the class.

Then of course we couldn't leave the Zero Power out. Lonely zero powers that make the number equal to 1.

Wouldn't be a lesson with Mrs. S unless we had an Exit Ticket of sorts. I really tried to stump you on this one but so many of you had this down and got it right! Good job! Don't forget to Kmail yours in by Friday so I can give you your 1 hour attendance credit!

Of course I couldn't leave you without a video! Check out Super Exponent Guy!

Next week's Stumped in Pre-Algebra will be over One-Step Equations! Several of you asked about them this week so I really think it will help us out! :)

Teachers: If you are interested in this Flippable with the components and Exit Ticket, I have the available in my Teachers Pay Teachers shop as well as my Teachers Notebook shop. Enjoy!
