Description
In this activity, students will practice simplifying algebraic expressions by applying the following properties/rules of exponents: Product of Powers Property, Quotient of Powers Property, Power of a Power Property and the Zero-Exponent Rule. Additionally, students will rewrite negative exponents as the reciprocal of the positive exponents.
This would be a great activity to be used during or towards the end of a multi-day lesson on Properties of Exponents in Grade 8 math and Algebra I or prior to Solving Exponentia Equations in Algebra II.

CCSS8.EE.A.1
Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3² × (3⁻⁵) = (3⁻³) = 1/3³ = 1/27.
CCSSHSN-RN.A.1
Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5 to the 1/3 power to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5 to the 1/3 power)³ = 5 to the (1/3)(3) power to hold, so (5 to the 1/3 power)³ must equal 5.
CCSSHSN-RN.A.2
Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
CCSSHSN-RN.B.3
Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
