1. Learning Target:Students will learn how compute values of powers.

2. When we were little and were learning multiplication it was explained as being the same as repeated addition. 2 X 4 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2

3. Well today we are going to learn about powers and that is the same as repeated multiplication.

4. Power Form:ExponentBeBase

5. Exponent: # of times the base number is multipliedBase: # being multiplied

6. Write the product as a power.6 X 6 X 6

7. Write the product as a power.7 x 7 x7 x7 x 715 x 15Compare your answers.

8. How do we read these answers.6375152

9. 63– Six to the third power orsix cubed75– Seven to the fifth power152– Fifteen to the second power or fifteen squared

10. Find the value of the power.3 to the sixth power: 361 to the fifth power: 156 squared: 62

11. 36= 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 72915= 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 162= 6 x 6 = 36

12. Are you able to compute values of powers?
