“B4” learning more exponent properties, Math 8 students practiced their exponent skills so far this unit with a competitive game of exponent battleship. In order to take a shot at sinking an opponent’s ship, students had to correctly simplify an exponent problem. Students not only practiced their skills on paper, but they were also able to practice vocabulary and saying the math out loud!
