Understanding Exponent Rules

The video tutorial by Miss Kearnes introduces students to the concept of exponents through a rhythmic and engaging approach. It covers basic exponent rules, including raising numbers to zero and one, multiplying and dividing exponents, and the power of a power rule. The tutorial also addresses negative exponents and provides examples to illustrate these concepts. The use of rhymes and repetition helps reinforce the learning material, making it easier for students to remember and apply the rules in tests.
