Introduction to Powers and Exponents
Students will define exponents, base, and power, and write numbers in exponential form.
Key Questions
- Explain the purpose of using exponential notation instead of repeated multiplication.
- Differentiate between the base and the exponent in an exponential expression.
- Construct an example demonstrating the difference between (-2)^4 and -2^4.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
