Fifth grade learners are introduced to exponents with powers of 10. At this level, students are expected to multiply and divide both whole and decimal numbers by powers of 10. In sixth grade, learners work with whole-number exponents as they write and evaluate numerical expressions. They also evaluate algebraic expressions involving whole-number exponents when given specific values of variables. As students progress, they learn the properties of integer exponents to simplify and evaluate expressions. A strong understanding of exponents prepares students to work with roots. In eighth grade, students focus on square roots and cube roots. They begin exploring the relationship between square numbers and square roots as well as cube numbers and cube roots. As they progress, students learn to approximate the square roots of numbers that are not perfect squares and the cube roots of numbers that are not perfect cubes. Students also work with numbers expressed in scientific notation
