III – PROCEDURE
A. Preliminaries
Pre-Assessment
Give the product of each of the following as fast as you can.
a) 3 x 3 = ________
b) 4 x 4 x 4 = ________
c) 5 x 5 x 5 = ________
d) 2 x 2 x 2 = ________
e) 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = ________
f) 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = ________
B. Lesson Proper
1. Teaching/Modeling
Solution:
24 =16 34 = 81 44 =256 x4
23 = 8 33 = 27 43 = 64 x3
22 = 4 32 = 9 42 = 16 x2
21 = 2 31 = 3 41 = 4 x1
an = a x a x a x a .....(n times)
n
In a , a is called the base and n is called the exponent
2. Analysis
a) What do you observe as you answer column B? What do you observe as
you answer column C?
b) What happens to its value when the exponent decreases?
c) What do you mean by an?
3. Guided Practice
Which of the following is/are correct? If correct, do the THUMBS UP. Otherwise,
THUMBS DOWN and give the correct value.
a) 52 = 5 x 5 = 25
b) 64 = 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 216
c) 25 = 2 x 5 = 10
d) 103 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 300
.
4. Independent Practice
Rewrite each of these in exponential form. (a n)
a) 5∙5∙5∙5∙5 = ______
b) (a)(a)(a)(a) = ______
c) 6∙x∙x∙x∙x∙x∙x= ______
d) 7∙7∙y∙y = ______
e) 10 = ______
5. Generalization
The exponent tells us how many times the base is multiplied by itself. The
base is the factor which is to be multiplied by itself n times to obtain the product.
The power refers to the product of equal factors.
To interpret an where n is a positive integer:
an= a x a x a x a ….. (n times)
*a is called the base
*n is called the exponent
Ex. 53 = 5x5x5 = 125
IV – ASSIGNMENT
1. Follow-up Activity:
Rewrite in exponential form:
a) (xyz)(xyz)(xyz) b)3∙3∙3∙x∙x∙y∙y∙y
