      If you have a repeated multiplication, you could write it using exponents! This tutorial introduces exponents and explains how they're used.

  • Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
