Exponent Lesson Plans

  1. Cube Coloring Problem - Investigate what happens when different sized cubes are constructed from unit cubes, the surface areas are painted, and the large cubes are taken apart. How many of the 1x1x1 unit cubes are painted on three faces, two faces, one face, no faces?
  2. Cutting Up in Class, Fractal Style - Students create three-dimensial models demonstrating exponents, multiplying/dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.
  3. Everything Balances Out in the End - Using a balance in the classroom is a first step to algebraic understanding. Use this pan balance (numbers) applet to practice the order of operations in simplifying numerical expressions and to demonstrate the conventions of using algebraic logic in simplifying expressions.
  4. Exponents Lesson - Exponents are shortcuts to express a multiplication of a number by itself. Exponents tell you how many times you should multiply the number by.
  5. Exponents Practice Test

  2. Mathline - The objectives of this lesson are for students to explore the patterns of exponential models in tables, graphs, and symbolic forms and to apply what they have learned to make predictions in a real situation.
  3. Prime Factorization Mobile - During this review lesson, students demonstrate their knowledge of prime numbers, composite numbers, and prime factorization using exponents to create a factor tree mobile.
  4. What Is the Difference Between Exponential and Scientific Notation?
  5. World Population Study - This lesson is designed for students in grade levels 7 to 12 who have mastered basic math concepts or can use a calculator to solve basic operations.
  6. You Mean ANYTHING To The Zero Power Is One? - This lesson is a technology-based project to reinforce concepts related to the Exponential Function. It can be used in conjunction with any textbook practice set. Construction of computer models of several Exponential Functions will promote meaningful learning rather than memorization.
