DEFINITION:
a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression.

HOW TO:
(e.g., 3 in 23 = 2 × 2 × 2).

Everyday Use: Null

Lyrics

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea,

E-x-p-o-n-e-n-t-s no spelling bee

Exponents my specialty but please adjust to basically

Exponents are short hand for repeated multiplication of same thing by itself

Peep the demonstration:

Instead of writing 5 times 5 times 5,

write 5 and the exponent is 3 simplicity

Exponents are the little number that you place in the right-hand corner

of another number or letter

Depends on the subject matter

Yea I choose the number 5, the value of being multiplied

That thing there is called a base and that applies in any case

There’s so many variations, it depends on your location

When you’re using exponents, it has a few of pronunciations

If the 5 is the base and the exponent is a 2

You pronounce it 5 square

If it’s a 3, 5 cubed

E-x-p-o-n-e-n-t-s no spelling bee

Exponents my specialty but please adjust to basically

Standards

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.A.1 — Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.A.3 — Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.A.1 — Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.Q.A.1 — Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.RN.A.1 — Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.A.2.C — Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
