CONTENT OF THE LESSON
 Content of the lesson
Index notation is very useful when you have to express a number as a
product of its prime factors because it allows us to write in a short form

Rule 1

28 × 23 = 28+3 = 211

So when multiplying if bases are same we can add the

indices Examples
Rule 2

when dividing index forms with same bases we can subtract the indices
 Rule 4
Rule 5
Negative indices

= 52∗3 = 56
= 𝑎24 Write Reciprocal with the
positive power

Choosing tasks that supports your learning style will enable maximum progress.

After finishing your ‘Target Grade’ task ‘Progress’ to the next level. Reaching ‘A*’ is the ultimate
target.

Students with Even bias can attempt either Spatial or Verbal bias tasks.
