Expressions with Exponents (6.EE.1)
Why use exponents?
Evaluating Exponents
Rules:
1 to any power is equal to 1.
0 to any power is equal to 0.
Evaluate and Create Equivalent Exponential Expressions (CC:6.EE.1)
How to evaluate exponential expressions and how to express a value in exponential form?
Exponents are used to shorten or condense repeated multiplication.
3•3•3•3•3 = 35
The term 35 is written using the exponential notation. 3 is the base and 5 is the exponent. The exponent or power indicates the number of times that the factor, or base, is multiplied.
