Unpacked Content
Knowledge
Students know:
- Conventions of exponential notation.
- Factorization strategies for whole numbers.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Use factorization strategies to write equivalent expressions involving exponents.
- Accurately find products for repeated multiplication of the same factor in evaluating exponential expressions.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- The use of exponents is an efficient way to write numbers as repeated multiplication of the same factor and this form reveals features of the number that may not be apparent in multiplied out form, (showing the prime factorization of two numbers with exponents helps determine how many of each factor).
Vocabulary
- Numerical expression
- Exponent
