Whole number exponents with integer bases 2

The topic  appears under the 7th Grade Math Mission. This exercise starts expanding the positive exponents to larger exponents that can be interpreted quickly.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Find the value of the expression: This problem asks the student to correct evaluate an numerical exponential expression and write the answer in the space provided.Pazewpanb1.png

Strategies
To complete this exercise all that is required is knowledge of the definition of the exponent, but it would be time-consuming by the definition in some cases.
 * 1) The definition of the exponent is repeated multiplication. In other words, a^b is a being multiplied by itself b many times.
 * 2) One raised to any power is one.
 * 3) Zero raised to any positive power is zero.
 * 4) Negative one raised to a power is one is the exponent is even, negative one if it is odd.
 * 5) In general, numbers raised to even powers will always be positive, while if a number is raised to odd powers it will retain it's initial sign.
