Overview:
This lesson will teach students about several of the rules regarding
exponents. It focuses on the seven (7) exponent rules. This lesson will tackle some
of the basics regarding the rules of exponents.
Time Allotment:
1 hour (class periods)
Subject Matter:
Seven (7) Exponents Rules
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to;
 Understand the Seven Exponent Rules
 Develop laws of exponents
 Define negative exponents
 Learn something of the Basics of the Rules of Exponents
Materials/ Resources:
 Scientific / Normal calculator
Learning Procedure:
 A. Preliminary
- Greetings
- Prayer
- Checking attendance
 B. Discusses
- Seven (7) Exponents Rules
Assume that a and b are non zero real numbers, and m and n
are any integers
1. Zero property of Exponent
b0 =1
example:
50 =1
2. Negative Property of Exponents

b-n = 1 or 1 = bn
bn b-n

example:

2-4 = 1 or 1
24 x-7

=1 =x7
16
3. Product Property of Exponent

(bm) (bn)= (bm+n)

example:

(x6) (x2)= (x6+2)

= x8

4. Quotient Property of Exponent

bm = bm-n
bn
 example:

X7 = X7-4
X4
= 3
X

5. Power of a Power Property of Exponent

(bm)n = bmn

example:
(x5)3 = b5.3
= 15
b

6. Power of a Product Property of Exponent

(ab)m =am bm

example:
(23 x7y6)2 =23.2 x7.2y6.2

=26 x14y12

=64 x14y12

7. Power of a Quotient Property of Exponent

m
a = am
b bm

example:

3x4 = 33 x 12
Y6 y18
= 27 x 12
Y 18

C. Activities
 Instruction : Answer the following questions. Identify whether it is zero,
negative, product, quotient, power of a power, power of a product, or power of a
quotient property of exponent.
1. ________= 60 =1
2. ________= (x3) (x2)= (x3+2)
3. ________= (x7)2 = x7.2
=x14
4. ________= x4 = x4-3
X3
= x4

5. _________= 3-3 = 1 1
33 or x-3

=1
=
27 x3

D. Assignments:
Give one example each of the Seven (7) Rules of Exponents

1. zero property of exponents =_______________

2. negative property of exponents =_______________
3. product property of exponents =_______________
4. quotient property of exponents =_______________
5. power of a power property of exponents =_______________
6. power of a product property of exponents =________________
7. power of a quotient property of exponents=________________
