This PowerPoint walks students through the basics of exponents - how to evaluate positive bases with positive and negative exponents. This is great to use with a whole group, small group, or individually. It can be done at a technology center during station work, it can be used to catch up a student who was absent, it can be viewed at home as part of a flipped classroom, and it can be a resource for parents. The PwrPt guides students to simply view some slides and complete practice work in th
