2. Powers & Exponents Calculators OK! Chapter 1.2 – Lesson
I can evaluate expressions that include exponents. I can write exponential expressions to solve real-life problems. 6.NS.2

3. Vocabulary
Power: A product of repeated factors. Powers always include an exponent.
Example: 32 is a power, 3 × 2 is not. Can you tell the difference? Circle the powers in each expression.
B) C)

4. Vocabulary
Base: The base is the repeated factor (the number being multiplied over and over).
Example: Draw a BOX around the base of each power.
A) B) C) D)

5. Vocabulary
Exponent: The exponent tells you how many times the base is being used as a factor. It is written as a superscript to the right of the base.
Example: Draw an ARROW pointing to the exponent of each power.
A) B) C)

6. Write each Product as a Power:B)
Because 4 is used as a factor 6 times, 4 is the base and its exponent is 6.
Because 12 is used as a factor 3 times, 12 is the base and its exponent is 3.
