Teaching notes

Use this practice well

Expand each power into repeated multiplication before calculating. Comparing the expanded form with the compact notation helps learners see why the exponent counts factors, not an added amount.

What this develops

Practise evaluating powers and understanding a base and exponent.

A mistake to watch for

Reading 3⁴ as 3 × 4 gives 12 rather than 3 × 3 × 3 × 3.

Ways to use it

  • Introduce exponent notation.
  • Review powers before algebra.
  • Check multiplication steps using the key.

Scope and limits
