Students are asked to write a numerical expression using exponents.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to evaluate numerical expressions with exponents.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to write and evaluate a numerical expression using exponents.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to expand and evaluate exponential expressions containing whole number exponents.

Type: Formative Assessment

This lesson allow students to gather, calculate, and plot data using both computer code and mathematical equations. In this lesson students will create a pedometer app to demonstrate the understanding of algorithms, components (such as buttons, textboxes, sensors, etc.), and If/Then statements. This lesson uses algebraic equations and random data to access the needed components to store data in a spreadsheet.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson shows how data can be represented by computers, in relation to everyday activities we may not be aware that we use computer. It gives an overview of graphing data by creating a histogram based on population data. Using the data collected, students will get a chance to hand write code to show what structure is needed for computers to collect, analyze and distribute such data. This lesson is lesson 1 of the Data Set and Deviation Statistics Unit and bridges statistical concepts of data collection, graphing and analysis with programming a computer using coding language while reinforcing foundational algebraic skills.

Type: Lesson Plan

MSP Racing Company is a cutting edge company that wishes to break through and develop the fastest renewable energy vehicle of its kind. In this lesson, students will be divided into teams of three and will be assigned the task of developing a solar-powered race car to be purchased and developed in full scale by MSP Racing. Each group of students will be employees of MSP Racing Company and will have to develop, test, and present their car to the boss (teacher) of the company.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will be introduced to the power of exponents through the parable A Grain of Rice, by Demi. Students analyze the parts of an exponential expression and evaluate the expression using mental math and paper and pencil.

Type: Lesson Plan

The students will use square tiles or cubes to explore the meaning of "squared" and "cubed" numbers. They will model squared and cubed numbers to build a strong foundation for working with exponents. The students will learn the connections between area and volume models and the related positive exponents. This is an introductory lesson.

Evaluate numerical expressions with whole numbers using the order of operations and properties of operations in this interactive tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

Students are asked to explore and then write an expression with an exponent. The purpose of this task is to introduce the idea of exponential growth and then connect that growth to expressions involving exponents. It illustrates well how fast exponential expressions grow.

Type: Problem-Solving Task

This problem asks the student to evaluate three numerical expressions that contain the same integers yet have differing results due to placement of parentheses.

Type: Problem-Solving Task

Students can practice answering mathematics questions on a variety of topics. With an account, students can save their work and send it to their teacher when complete.

Type: Student Center Activity

Students will learn that non-zero numbers to the zero power equal one. They will also learn that zero to any positive exponent equals zero.

Type: Tutorial

You will discover rules to help you determine the sign of an exponential expression with a base of -1.

Type: Tutorial

Students will evaluate expressions using the order of operations.

Type: Tutorial

This video will show how to evaluate expressions with exponents using the order of operations.

Type: Tutorial

This video demonstrates how to evaluate expressions with whole number exponents.

Type: Tutorial

Learn why a number raised to the zero power equals 1.

Type: Tutorial

This lesson unit helps teachers assess how students perform arithmetic operations, write and evaluate numerical expression s from diagrammatic representations, apply the distributive and commutative properties, and find areas of compound rectangles. The time for the lesson is broken into a 15 minute pre-lesson task, an 80 minute lesson (or two 40 minute lessons), and a 15 minute follow up lesson or homework. Individual students will need a copy of the two tasks, a mini-whiteboard, a pen, and an eraser. Each small group will need cut-up copies of the card sets, a large sheet of poster-sized paper, and a glue stick.

Type: Unit/Lesson Sequence

In this activity, students practice solving algebraic expressions using order of operations. The applet records their score so the student can track their progress. This activity allows students to practice applying the order of operations when solving problems. This activity includes supplemental materials, including background information about the topics covered, a description of how to use the application, and exploration questions for use with the java applet.
