Properties of Exponents: Equivalent Expressions

Put your understanding of exponents to the test with this eighth-grade worksheet! Students will use the product of powers, quotient of powers, power of a power, zero exponent and negative exponent properties to determine whether each pair of expressions is equal or not. There are 18 unique problems to solve, helping to reinforce learners’ understanding of properties of exponents.

As students become more confident with the properties of exponents, they can be better equipped to work with exponents in different contexts. Students can encounter rational and integer exponents, exponents with variable bases, and exponents in multi-step equations. Knowing how to apply the properties of exponents and identify equivalent expressions will set students up for success in future math lessons!
