This math topic focuses on calculating the ones digit of a number when it is raised to a large exponent, enhancing skills in understanding patterns in the ones digits of powers. Specifically, it covers problems where students must identify the ones digit for base numbers exponentiated to high powers (e.g., \(9^{66}\), \(4^{40}\)). This is a component of a larger unit on patterning and number patterns, and aims to develop both observation and number sense skills critical for higher mathematics.
