Most textbooks do a good job of loading up the page with formulas and sometimes logarithms, but I like to pick "real world" problems when I teach them about exponents as one of the most practical applications.

This worksheet is primarily for precalculus/IB students.

I use it within cooperative groups, and I circulate to make sure they are getting the purpose of the questions.

The file includes spiral review problems.

This worksheet is intended for students to show their work on a separate sheet of paper.

Please download the pdf preview file first, so you can see exactly what's included; the product file is a word document, which you may personalize for your students.
