Today we begin our
Unit 6: Exponents and Scientific Notation. This is a 3 week long unit: the first 2 weeks will be devoted to learning the laws and properties of exponents, and the last week will be scientific notation followed by the Unit test on Friday, February 27.
Today's notes were an introduction to what
exponents are, and we learned a few new terms:
Exponent,
Base, and
Expanded Form.
The exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication.
It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.
We also did an in class activity that is attached to the homework (first 2 pages) instead of taking a lot of notes. Everyone found it much easier to work examples together rather than take traditional notes.
