Exponents Denote Repeated Multiplication

Evaluating Exponents

Exponents are evaluated by multiplying the base by itself exponent number of times.
Example:
6² = 6 x 6 = 36
2⁵ = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
13³ = 13 x 13 x 13 = 2197

Practice

Here, you can practice evaluating exponents at any level you choose. If you make more than two mistakes in any level, that level will get locked and you have to complete the previous level to unlock it!

Why is this important?

Practice alone doesn’t guarantee learning—how students practice matters. Research on learning and expertise shows that students make the greatest gains when practice is deliberate: when they receive immediate feedback, reflect on mistakes, track progress, and focus on what they still need to improve. This kind of practice builds understanding, not just speed or memorization. Continue reading in our research blog →

Practice with Purpose

Our goal is to give students meaningful control over their practice. Instead of moving through problems mechanically, learners choose appropriate challenge levels, receive feedback that helps them self-correct, and revisit earlier ideas when needed. This supports deeper learning, confidence, and intrinsic motivation—key ingredients for long-term success in math.
