Introduction
Overview: As part of the HiSET program students are required to pass the mathematics, language arts, writing, science, and social studies portions of the HiSET exam. This lesson and instructional multimedia website is centered around a lesson on exponents, which is part of the number system.
Learning Objective: The student will be able to perform mathematical operations of varying degrees of difficulty with exponents.
Goals for Students
By learning about the real number system, our students will:
- Perform Arithmetic Operations: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide various types of real numbers with confidence.
- Understand Number Properties: Apply properties of real numbers, such as commutativity, associativity, and distributivity, to solve problems.
- Solve Real-World Problems: Use real numbers to model and solve everyday problems.
- Prepare for Advanced Math: Build a solid foundation for future studies in algebra, geometry, and beyond.
Introducing the real number system to our students is an essential part of their math education. By understanding the different types of real numbers and how to work with them, students will be well-prepared for more complex mathematical concepts and practical applications. This chapter will guide you through teaching these concepts effectively, ensuring that your students develop a comprehensive understanding of the real number system.
Facts about Exponents
Facts/History - Exponents.
An exponent is a number that tells how many times the base number is used as a factor. For example, 34 indicates that the base number 3 is used as a factor 4 times. To determine the value of 34, multiply 3*3*3*3 which would give the result 81.
