Answer:Answer:Exponents are the little Exponents are the little numbers that rest in the numbers that rest in the sky next to a number. It sky next to a number. It
tells you how many times tells you how many times to multiply the number by to multiply the number by
itself.itself.
Answer (cont.)Answer (cont.)We learn about exponents We learn about exponents just before we begin order just before we begin order
of operations. You will of operations. You will also see them in algebra also see them in algebra
and geometry!and geometry!
Let’s get started with Let’s get started with your graphic organizer! your graphic organizer!
This is a great study This is a great study tool to look over before tool to look over before
a quiz/test.a quiz/test.
Is there an exponent key Is there an exponent key on the calculator (TI-34II)?on the calculator (TI-34II)?
Yes!!!!!Yes!!!!!
Find the “^” key directly Find the “^” key directly beneath the pi symbol.beneath the pi symbol.
Try 5Try 566
Did you type in…Did you type in…
5^6 to get 15,6255^6 to get 15,625
Good job!Good job!
You will have time to practice You will have time to practice with the calculator later but with the calculator later but for now, make a note at the for now, make a note at the
bottom of your graphic bottom of your graphic organizer about which key to organizer about which key to
use for exponents.use for exponents.
