Exponents - Fractional Exponents with Unit Fractional Base (Level 1)
This math topic focuses on fractional exponents with unit fractional bases. Students solve problems where a unit fraction is raised to the power of another fraction, specifically a half. The goal is to find the square root of various unit fractions, such as \( \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{1/2} \), \( \left(\frac{1}{49}\right)^{1/2} \), \( \left(\frac{1}{25}\right)^{1/2} \), \( \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^{1/2} \), and \( \left(\frac{1}{121}\right)^{1/2} \). Each question is followed by a selection of options, and students must identify the correct simplification from multiple choices. This activity is designed to enhance understanding of the properties of exponents, particularly their application to fractions.
