In this worksheet, students will practice calculating expressions involving exponents. There are 15 expressions to be evaluated by each student, and the worksheet makes sure that each student receives a random set of questions. This exercise will help students become proficient in applying the rules of exponents and performing arithmetic operations involving powers of numbers.
Key Features:
Common Core: MATH
Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3^2 × 3^-5 = 3^-3 = 1/3^3 = 1/27.
