Children need to understand how to write numbers with exponents and convert them to actual numbers. As well, children need to be able to reduce numbers to exponential notation, especially with large numbers.
Instructions Have the child count how many times a number is multiplied by itself.
Then write the number in exponential notation. Answers to the mathematics activities will be provided in the following day's learning activities. Activities 1 Write each product in exponential notation. Find the product. Farmer Park has a square field which is 8 km wide and 8 km long.
