Given a calculator, Leo can calculate the square of a number and, with directions, the value of a number raised to an exponent. Leo understands the concept of exponents, but needs significant teacher support to add, subtract, multiply, or divide expressions with exponents (under 20% accuracy). He does not yet evaluate expressions with radicals.
- Given a calculator, Name will rewrite expressions involving exponents using the properties of exponents, simplifying expressions with 80% accuracy as measured by teacher records and observations CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.RN.A.2
- Make it easier: Specify like terms or “like terms and addition/subtraction”
- Make it harder: Change exponents to “radicals and rational exponents”
