Laws of Indices (Rational or Fractional Exponents) Code Breaker

The Laws of Indices (Rational or Fractional Exponents) Code Breaker offers students an engaging way to practice simplifying expressions involving fractional exponents (please note that this code breaker also includes negative powers). In this activity, students evaluate each expression using the laws of indices, then use a key to match their simplified answers to corresponding letters, which they unscramble to reveal a hidden word.
 
The interactive puzzle format reinforces understanding of the rules for rational exponents and their connection to roots and powers. It keeps students motivated and focused while building confidence and fluency in working with fractional powers.
