Evaluating Exponential Expressions WORKSHEET
Evaluating Exponential Expressions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Students will work with exponents of numbers throughout this worksheet. In section they are asked to find the value of calculations such as 2^5 and 0.6^2 - 0.1^2. Then in section B learners will compare full expressions and exponential notation. Section C gets more complicated, as students consider statements such as 2^n = 8, and they have to state the value of n.
There is also an extension that will see learners investigate negative numbers and exponents. Here, they will find -1 squared, cubed, to the power of four and five, and use their findings to work out -1 to other powers such as 124 and 0.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
