This math error analysis activity will make your students really think about the rules of exponents. Students identify incorrect statements when presented with expressions with exponents and their simplified forms. Students are then asked to fix each error.
On each card there are 2 expressions and 3 statements about missing exponents in the simplified forms. Students need to figure out which of the 3 statements is false (the "lie"), then correct the false statement on their answer sheet.
This activity gives students practice with exponent rules. It also offers practice recognizing errors when they occur.
There are 10 cards, a student answer sheet and an answer key included.
