Very full and informative day!

After our warm up and checking our homework, we moved into a conversation and lesson about exponents (see the TONS of pictures below).  The kiddos have to fill out a sheet of exponents tonight for homework that they began during class.

The most important thing to remember about exponents?  It's all about MULTIPLYING.

Thus, 3^2 (three squared, or three to the second power) is actually 3 * 3... NOT 3+3 or 3 * 2.

To hopefully avoid confusion and speed up checking time tomorrow, I'm going to post the answers to the homework this evening up here on the blog.  (NOTE: An email will not be sent out with the answers... you or your child will have to come check it yourself!)

They're doing fabulously!
