This playlist consists of 48 videos all about exponents expressions and equations.  Teachers can use these videos to support their lesson plans and engage students.  These videos each cover specific topics and concepts learned in Algebra I classes.  The playlist is an excellent resource for students to review or study for a test or final.  For Common Core alignment, see below.  By the end of this playlist, students will be able to explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents and rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.

Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.RN.A.2

Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
