Exponential Notation
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Exponential notation writes repeated multiplication compactly: the base is the factor, and the exponent counts how many times the base appears.
Show
2⁵ means 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2, which equals 32. Five appearances, one small raised number.
Watch for
The exponent counts factors, not additions.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
