              Indices with Negative Powers

              Students learn how to calculate the reciprocal of a number and evaluate indices with negative powers.  As learning progresses they are challenged to consider indices with negative and fractional powers.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to simplify and evaluate terms written in index form where an integer base is raised to a negative power.
              • Most students should be able to simplify and evaluate terms written in index form where a decimal base is raised to a negative power.
              • Some students should be able to simplify and evaluate terms written in index form where the base is written as a fraction or mixed number is raised to a negative power.

              Angles in Polygons

              October 16, 2019

              There are two key learning points when solving problems with angles in polygons.  The first is to understand why all the exterior angles of a polygon have a sum of 360°.  The second is to understand the interior and exterior angles appear on the same straight line. Students can be told these two facts and […]
