Included in this site is a complete lesson on writing with exponential notation. The lesson includes an introduction activity and discovery, practice, and an exit ticket along with suggestions for the teacher to use throughout the lesson. Students will use integer exponents and discover when to use parentheses for their bases. You will need to insert parentheses where necessary before delivering the lesson or using the worksheet since they are missing around fractions and negative bases if they haven't been fixed by the time you visit their lesson site.

Students define appropriate quantities from a situation (a graphing story), choose and interpret the scale and the origin for the graph, and graph the piecewise linear function described in the video. They understand the relationship between physical measurements and their representation on a graph.
