This presentation is an introduction to Exponents. Students will begin with repeated multiplication. They will then be reminded about a base an exponent. They will learn the term Exponential Form.

1. Warm Up
Multiply.
1. 3 × 3 × 3
2. 4 × 4 × 4
3. 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
4. 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

3. A number is in exponential form
when it is written with a base and
an exponent.

= 7 × 7 × 7= 343
An exponent tells how many times
a number called the base is used
as a factor.

4. Write each expression in
exponential form.
