Today in class we talked about Exponents. Students were somewhat familiar with them already so it was partly a review. To begin our discussion students were asked what they think of when they hear or see the word exponent. Below are some comments;
- powers of
- repeated multiplication
- base times base
- multiplication

| This was a simulation of the shakers they used in class today. The students were given a shaker with a white die and a green die inside. The shaker guarantees no dice will hit the floor. The white die represented the base and the green die represented the exponent. I had to use a blue to represent the base so they could see it on the smartboard. One page 36 (A.M pg. 41) the students wrote down the problems they created and worked them out. Being sure to discuss their answers with each other before continuing. |
