by Amanda Susay ** Subject: ** Math ** Topic: ** Exponents (Day 5) ** Grade Level: ** 6th ** Time Frame: ** 45 minutes ** Overall Goal/ Purpose: ** The goal of this lesson is for students to understand exponential form and be able use and represent numbers using exponents. ** State Standards: ** IL.6.A.3 > Represent fractions, decimals, percentages, exponents and scientific notation in equivalent forms. ** Instructional Objectives: ** 6th graders will be able to: ·  write numbers in exponential form ·  find the value of numbers in exponential form ·  represent numbers using exponents ·  use exponents to write dates in scientific notation Focus Attention/Motivation: I will review with my students the term repeated addition and give them examples such as 5+5+5+5. I will discuss with the students an easier way to write a repeated expression, such as writing 5+5+5+5 as 4X5. I will have students give an example of a repeated multiplication expression and explain that an easier way to write this repeated multiplication is using an exponent.

Instructional Input & Modeling: I will teach students to write repeated multiplication expressions in exponential form showing examples on the board. Then I will show the students how to find the values of numbers in exponential form and also how to write numbers in scientific notation

Student Engagement/Practice: Students will be given pictures of caves and will be asked to write the date of when the cave was built in scientific notation. They will also write out the exponent as a repeated multiplication expression.

Closure: We will briefly review definitions of new vocabulary in the lesson and students will be given a worksheet on exponents. Students will be assessed by their cave worksheets and homework assignment.
