Exponents Part 4 (Rational Exponents)

With this lesson bundle your students will not be mystified by rational exponents!  This two day lesson unpacks the spatial arrangement of numbers and connects multiplication by a fraction, in a way they concretely understand, to rational exponents.  This is a powerful conceptual and mathematically-literate approach that students will retain and recall.

When you download this bundle you’ll receive a zip folder with a Read Me document that organizes all of the documents within, making deploying the lesson easy.  (You can see how this document looks from the picture posted below.)  The folder also includes a high quality, well organized, animated and easy learn from and use PowerPoint lesson, a lesson guide (plan), a document with teaching tips for this topic, reference notes to assign for student reading or reference, two homework assignments, and links to internet hosted information aligned with this lesson for student or parent reference.   The online information includes videos, online notes, an activity with desmos.com, and practice problems from Khan Academy. 

As is the case with all of the bundles and lessons from Math Connected, you can use the materials easily in a traditional lesson, a flipped classroom setting, or a virtual classroom.   If you assign the notes to be read by the students, they’ll further develop their literacy and experience with technical writing.  Either way, they’re a great reference for students.

All of the materials here are aligned in a way that you can support students of various abilities, while providing access to content for review or for absent students, and even parents that want to have access so they can “help,” their child
