Exploring Powers of Ten and Exponents

In this video, Allison from mahalo.com explains the concept of powers of 10 and exponents, focusing on positive exponents. She demonstrates how to express numbers like 100, 1,000, and 10,000 using exponents, such as 10^2, 10^3, and 10^4, by counting the zeros. Special cases like 10^1 and 10^0 are also covered. The video concludes with an invitation to explore related topics and engage with the channel.
