About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use product, quotient, and power rules to rewrite numerical expressions with integer exponents.
  • Students evaluate numerical expressions containing zero and negative exponents.
  • Students apply exponent properties to temperature and rainfall calculations.

How to use

Use after introducing integer exponent properties. Have students show equivalent expressions on separate paper, then discuss the final calibration error.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered
