Introduction to EXPONENTS
- Google Slidesβ’
Description
This product is a 100% EDITABLE Google Slides Presentation that I use in my 5th grade classroom while tackling the first trimester of our math program! We use Envisions Math however, this is a very general lesson that INTRODUCES EXPONENTS! It serves as a wonderful first lessons to showing 5th graders what exactly exponents are, how they serve as a "Shortcut" to repeated multiplication, as well as showing what the 3 Forms of Exponents are!

What's in the Google Slide Presentation:
- I always begin with a *math joke* (WARNING- they are super LAME! My kiddos always laugh at ME but it is a good way to get into math class!!!!)
- Thinking prompts. I begin with having the kids tackle a question and chat with neighbors about what they see or notice. In this presentation I show them a place value chart & simple pose the question - what do you notice? ALWAYS leads to a great discussion!
- Exponents Explanation Slide & Forms of Exponents slides. Definitions & Examples!
- How to SAY Exponents- definitions & examples!
- GUIDED PRACTICE! I have 4-5 slides of guided practice. ( I have the kiddos use whiteboards; you can also integrate any digital Add-Ons you have i.e. Nearpod!)
- Independent Practice/Exit Ticket For this specific lesson I included a link to my Independent Practice GOOGLE FORMS CHECK! You will just have to make a copy of my file and then you are free to edit & use it with your class!
- *ALSO* I have speaker comments under each slide to detail what I do in my classroom, feel free to utilize these comments or ignore & delete!
