Use the power of a power property to solve exponential functions. The instructional activity refers to  differentiating between multiplying or adding exponents to find the value, and how to find the product of a power of a power.

Eleventh graders solve problems with roots and exponents. In this algebra lesson, 11th graders use the properties of powers to help them multiply, add, subtract and divide exponential functions. They take the square root of rational and...

Ninth graders identify the different laws of exponents. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders write the rules of exponents and use them to solve problems. They use the product, quotient laws to solve problems.

Students solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Learners construct a model of an electromagnetic spectrum using play-doh and string. They use exponents and plot the radio/microwave, infrared, and visible bandwidths of the spectrum.

Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

The laws of exponents are written on a handy reference sheet. Note that since this worksheet was written in the UK, powers or exponents are also called indices (singular: index). If this does not pose a problem for you, the concepts and...

Learners explore the concept of scientific notation. In this scientific notation lesson, mathematicians discuss how multiplying by a power of 10 affects the decimal. They play Powers of 10 Yahtzee. Students roll a die five times and each...

Students solve problems using the order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students perform order of operation working from inside the parentheses and exponents to multiplication and division in the right order. They evaluate...

Students differentiate between logs and exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve exponential functions using properties of exponents. They differentiate between exponential and irrational functions.

Students analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics lesson, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts of...

Students examine the relationship between three dimensions and two dimensions by working with shadows of cubes and other models. Students work in groups and use Zome System Creator Kits to try and build a shape other than a cube that...

Fourth graders find the volume of cubes and cylinders. To determine volume, they fill large cubes with centimeter cubes. They discuss the formula used to find the volume of a cube. Students explore why the solution to the volume of a...

Touchdown! This is an exponentially insightful lesson that explores the growth of football games with different video game consoles. Class members discuss whether the increase of mergahertz can be described as linear or exponential....

Your young microbiologists will interpret and solve exponential equations in this real-world context task set in a hospital research scenario. Learners think in terms of the functions as well as their rates of change. 

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Examine the concept of an electromagnetic spectrum with your students, as they observe a demonstration of a model, construct and compare a different model of the spectrum commonly used in textbooks, and construct their own models of the...

Students subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. For this advanced subtraction lesson, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help with the rules...

Sixth graders use the mneumonic device to help them remember orderof operation. In this algebra lesson, 6th graders apply PEMDAS to help them equations. They evaluate equations through PEMDAS.

Middle schoolers discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl...

Students predict the number of cells after a series of cell divisions.  In this cells lesson students create a graph of their results and create a patterned drawing. 

High schoolers find the relationship between the variables based on experimental data. They determine mathematical relationship between pH and the amount of hydrogen Ions in solution.

Sixth graders are introduced to the concept of scale. As a class, they create a model of the solar system taking into account the scale between the planets and the Sun. To end the lesson, they examine "Dina the Monster Bee" and discover...
