Exponent Activities for High School

Exponents can be confusing to high school students, but with the help of educational resources online, students can master exponent concepts while being entertained. From simulated game shows to print-and-cut card games, online video games and virtual and printed flashcards, students can hone exponent skills while being distracted by play.
  1. The "Exponent Block" Card Game

    • Print an exponent bingo card game from the Internet to practice simplifying exponential equations.

      A printable PDF game is available from TeachingCollegeMath's website. The game is titled "Exponent Block," and it comes with instructions, a game board and cards. The game is played like bingo, with answers to exponent questions printed on the board. The cards have exponent questions, which are solved to place the cards on the correct answers, ultimately making a bingo line across the board to win. This game helps students practice simplifying exponential equations with no negative exponents in the answers, and can be played with one player but is more challenging played by two.

    The "Exponents Rules" Matching Game and Flashcard Sets

    • Play an exponents card matching game available on the Grossmont Union High School site.

      Grossmont Union High School offers an "Exponential Rules" Matching Card Game on its website. Download the game on a Word document available online, then print and cut the cards. To play the game, students match two cards with equal equations. There are over 200 exponent flashcard sets on the Quizlet website. The flashcard sets all come with printable or virtual flashcards and worksheets with audio components. The flashcard sets also come with quizzes that can be customized for true or false, multiple choice, matching or written answers, and can be taken online or printed with answer sheets.

    • The "Asteroids" exponents game prompts players to destroy asteroids with correct equation solutions on them.

      Students can play an interactive exponents game named "Asteroids" on the MathDork website. Players must solve exponential equations as asteroids with numbers pelt the screen. Players destroy the asteroids with the correct answers on them to score points and lose points when incorrect answers are chosen. StudyStack has an exponent matching game that prompts players to match verbal descriptions of exponential terms.

    Simulated Exponent Game Shows

    • Online exponents game shows allow students to play alone or in pairs.

      Simulated game shows utilizing exponents are available on the Quia website. The "Adding Exponents Rags to Riches" game gives players exponent questions with multiple-choice answers and hints. Players win exponential amounts of money while answering exponent addition questions. A similar game exists for subtracting exponents on this site.
