| Exponents |
A number written above and to the right of another number, variable, or mathematical expression that shows how many times the number, variable, or expression is multiplied by itself. | | Monomials | Monomials are the small units or pieces of algebra expressions. They can be as small as a single number( 2, ─7), or a variable (x, y, a), or a number and variable combination (3d, ─8g, 4x²). |

Strategies and Content Practice |
Begin
(prepare) |
Numbers and variables that have exponents can be operated on by the usual math operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This lesson covers multiplying exponents. |
| Engage |
As defined above, monomials are small expressions of an algebra problem.
These monomials may contain exponents like:
When we multiply two or more numbers with exponents, we ADD their exponents. For example:
When we multiply two or more variables with exponents, we ADD their exponents. For example:
When numbers are with variables, we call them coefficients.
So monomials with coefficients and variables can be multiplied. Their exponents are also added.
For example:
The coefficients are multiplied together.
Then the exponents on the variable H are added together.
