Powers - resources to teach, practice, revise and assess

This set of resources covers evaluating and simplifying expressions with powers.

The first resource is 18 multiple choice questions on evaluating powers for students to attempt (I usually get my class to do this in pairs/small groups).

The second resource is a worksheet with different sections that focus on evaluating with postive integer powers and 0, negative integer powers, then fractional powers. Each section contains examples to work through as a class and then an exercise for students to attempt. Answers are included.

The third and fourth resource cover simplifying expressions, following the same format and the 1st and 2nd.

The powerpoint contains slides that revise how to evaluate and simplify expressions with powers - useful as a plenary or as a refresher at the start of a lesson.

The multiple choice questions cover both evaluating and simplifying - useful as a revision resource or a quick assessment. Solutions provided.

The final resource is a set of questions to cover the whole powers topic, some of which are examination style questions. Answers are included.
