Laws of Indices (Rational or Fractional Exponents) Homework

The Laws of Indices (Rational or Fractional Exponents) Homework is designed to support students’ understanding of fractional exponent rules through a structured, progressive approach that builds confidence and fluency.
 
Recall: This section helps students review the basic laws of rational exponents.
 
Practice and Further Practice: Students complete a set of focused questions to strengthen their procedural fluency and accuracy when simplifying expressions using fractional exponent rules (please note that this activity also includes negative powers).
 
Stretch: This final section presents more challenging problems that encourage critical thinking and allow students to extend their learning beyond the basics.
 
This comprehensive format ensures that students not only master the fundamental laws of rational exponents but also develop the skills to apply them confidently in a variety of mathematical situations.
