Power Pair-Up

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is designed to help students practice the power of a product rule in exponents. It presents a series of expressions where two or more bases are multiplied together, each raised to a certain exponent. The students’ task is to simplify these expressions by applying the rule that when multiplying like bases, you add the exponents. The worksheet includes a variety of numerical and algebraic expressions to provide a comprehensive review of this fundamental exponent law.

This worksheet aims to teach students how to combine exponents when multiplying like bases. It reinforces the concept that when you have the same base raised to different powers and you multiply them, you can add the exponents together. Through practice with the worksheet, students develop a deeper understanding of exponent laws and gain confidence in simplifying algebraic expressions involving exponents. This foundational knowledge is essential for success in algebra and prepares students for more advanced mathematical concepts involving exponents and polynomials.
