Evaluating Exponential Expressions (B) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade
CCSS: 8.EE.A.1, 8.EE.A.2
CCSS Description: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3–5 = 3–3 = 1/33 = 1/27
Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x2 = p and x3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational.
