This week in math we reviewed, Negative Exponents and Scientific Notation. I think that the negative exponent law is the most important thing we learned this week because once you start doing more advanced problems it is important to know and be knowledgeable about the basics. 

The negative exponent means that the base belongs on the other side of the fraction. 

Step one: Convert the expression into a fraction in the way that any expression can be – by putting it over “1“

Step two: Once the expression is converted into a fraction, use the positive exponents to evaluate or simplify the new expression 

“A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction.”

Remember – only move the negative exponents
