3. 2.2 Powers of Ten and the Zero Exponent
Curriculum Focus
Explore patterns and powers of 10 to develop a meaning 
for the exponent 0.
Key Math Learnings
1. Patterns can be used to explain the zero exponent law.
2. Any power with an integer base, excluding 0, and an 
exponent of 0, is equal to 1.
3. Numbers can be written using powers of 10 and the 
zero exponent.

4. 1. What do you notice about the exponents as you move down the rows of your table?
2. What do you notice about the repeated multiplication as you move down the rows of your table?
3. Choose any row in the middle of the table. What can you do the number in standard form to get
the number in the row above it? To get the number in the row below?
4. What is the quotient when you divide a number by itself?
5. Continue your table for exponent 0.

7. 1. What patterns do you see in the base 10 table?
2. How is this table similar to the tables you created in the Investigate?
3. Does it matter what the base of the power is when we evaluate a power with an exponent of 0?

8. Using the pattern, what do you think the bottom row would be?

9. What about here??? 4 5 9

10. How about now? 1. What patterns do you see in the base 10 table?
2. How is this table similar to the tables you created in the Investigate?
3. Does it matter what the base of the power is when we evaluate a power with an exponent of 0?

11. Notes
Zero Exponent Law
 A power with an integer base, other than 0, 
 and an exponent 0 is equal to 1.
 n0 = 1, n ≠ 0
