We use exponents as a shorthand way of writing calculations such as:
31 x 31 x 31 x 31 x 31
This is a multiplication of the base number 31 by itself five times and so can be written as:
315
5 is the exponent
NB This is not the same as 31 x 5
In this worksheet, students understand and use simple exponents.
