Students develop fluency with powers having integral exponents, including exponent laws, zero and negative exponents, and scientific notation. They investigate perfect and non-perfect square roots using estimation, calculators, and number lines. Students extend their understanding of rational numbers by comparing, ordering, representing, and performing operations with positive and negative fractions, decimals, and integers. The topic emphasizes efficient use of order of operations and mathematical reasoning in multi-step problems. Students apply number concepts to contexts such as measurement, finance, population data, and scientific quantities.

Recommended Tasks
  • Create a visual reference guide explaining exponent laws, zero and negative exponents, scientific notation, rational-number operations, and order of operations, including an original example for each rule.
  • Complete an investigation estimating the square root of several non-perfect squares using number lines and successive approximation, then verify results with technology.
  • Solve and explain a set of multi-step real-world problems involving rational numbers, powers, and square roots; include written justification for the strategy used.
