Laws Of Exponent With Examples

  Introduction: Consider a number Z n . Z n reads as the n th power of Z. Or Z raised to the power n. Here Z is base whereas n is exponent , power , or order . Or simply exponent is repeated multiplication.  Law 1: Multiplication of two terms with identical bases: To multiply two numbers having identical bases, simply add the exponents whereas base remains the same. Z m .Z n = Z m+n Examples: 2 3 .2 6 = 2 9 Law 2: Multiplication of two terms with identical exponents: To multiply two numbers  having identical exponents but different bases, multiply the bases whereas exponent remains the same. We can write them as follows. Let's do some examples. Z m .Y m =  (Z.Y) m Examples: 2 3 .3 3 = (2*3) 3 Law 3: Division of two terms with identical bases: To divide two numbers having identical bases, subtract the powers whereas the base remains the same. Z m /Z n = Z m-n Examples: 5 5 /5 3 = (5) 5-3 Law 4: Division of two terms with different bases and identical exp...

Compare Objects Small/Big, Compare Objects Few/More, Compare Objects Fast, Slow, Compare Objects Heavy/Light Objectives:  Get to know about comparison, how to compare objects on the basis of their size, their speed, their weight and their quantity. Note: Comparison plays an important role in everyday life. Also it has a great role in scientific research and mathematics. In kids you have to develop this skill by comparing different objects. I have written this article exclusively for  2 to 5 years old kids. It takes at least 2 to 3 days for complete understanding of this topic.  Comparison is the fundamental cognitive process. There are various activities that help kids to investigate, to observe, to compare and hence enhance their logical thinking and reasoning capabilities. For building up mathematics concepts in a preschooler, kindergarten student comparison is an important skill. Once a child is able to identify things, he starts comparison. A p...

Sorting Concept For Kids

Sorting for kindergarten| Sorting for kids Sorting Concept For Kids Let's move forward. The next step in conceptual learning is sorting . Fundamental mathematical concepts not only include numbers, addition and subtraction. But it includes much more! Sorting is one of the important building blocks in logical and numerical analysis. Studies have shown that kids involved in sorting and contrasting activities do better in mathematics later on. Sorting means to group things on the basis of their similar attribute.  Why sorting? It develops the ability to judge, compare, arrange, critical thinking, logical reasoning etc. It is a simple activity which forms the foundation of higher mathematical concepts. If there are beads, pennies, toffees, toy-blocks etc. Ask your kid to sort out and find out what he will do? He will definitely develop the abilities to compare, organized thoughts, arrangement and order etc.  I have endless ideas about sorting out different ...
