6.PAR.6.1 worksheets: exponents and the order of operations

The standard

Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving rational bases and whole-number exponents.

Element 6.PAR.6.1 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 6.PAR.6: Identify, write, evaluate, and interpret numerical and algebraic expressions as mathematical models to explain relevant situations.

What students practice

Students write repeated factors as powers and powers as products, find the value of powers with whole-number, fraction, and decimal bases, and evaluate expressions with powers first. Bases are positive, exponents run from 1 to 5, and exponents print as true superscripts, never a caret.

Where to find it

  • p. 3Powers and Repeated Factors. Write each product as a power, or write each power as a product.
  • p. 4Find the Value of a Power. Find the value of each power, then complete the last problem.
  • p. 5Fraction and Decimal Bases. Find the value of each power, then answer the last question.
  • p. 6Order of Operations. Find the value of each expression, then answer the last question.
  • p. 14Mixed Review. Solve each problem, then check your work.
