In this activity for exponents and their properties, students will work individually or in groups through problems using exponents. Each group of problems seeks to help students develop a specific exponential rule. These rules known as Properties of Exponents allow students to properly manipulate problems involving multiplication and division of like bases with exponents as well as raising an exponent to another exponent. Each section deals with a different one of these properties and allows students to discover the property through expanding and then simplifying an exponential expression. Part four gives students a chance to apply the properties by identifying common exponential mistakes and fixing them using the correct exponential property.
