Indices and Standard Form

Indices and Standard Form

Let's see how much you've remembered about the last few weeks...

• What is law 1 of the rules of indices?

• Which law are we using when we subtract the powers?

• Can you write a large number in standard form?

• Do you remember how to add together two numbers written in standard form?

During today's lesson...

During this recap lesson some reminders will be shown and then you'll have a chance to complete some questions against your classmates.

Are you ready for your first question?

Laws of Indices

• You need to remember the previous three laws

• Coefficients (numbers in front) are affected by the operation in the question, not the law

• Law 4: Anything to the power of 0 is equal to 1

• Law 5: with negative powers, we can rewrite to 1 over the remaining parts

• Law 6: in fractional powers, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the power underneath the root

Let's try some questions...

Are you ready?

Standard Form

• Used to represent very large or very small numbers

• Positive powers => large numbers

• Negative powers => small numbers

• First number has to be between 1 and 10 (can be 1, can't be 10)
