Exponential Expressions: Multiplying and Dividing WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade
CCSS: 8.EE.A.1
CCSS Description: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3–5 = 3–3 = 1/33 = 1/27
Exponential Expressions: Multiplying and Dividing WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Your learners will be multiplying and dividing exponents with the same bases throughout this worksheet, and they will have the opportunity to investigate parentheses and exponents.
In section A, students will evaluate expressions involving exponents including fractional bases and bases to the power of zero.
Section B consists of 12 expressions that need simplifying. Each expression contains the same base and will be simplified using the exponent laws for multiplication and division. Students will be challenged further in section C as they continue simplifying expressions ,but here with a greater number of terms and expressions where division is shown as fractions.
The worksheet ends with an extension, which sees students investigating parentheses and exponents, and then using their findings to answer further questions.
