Exponents as Squares

Practice your squares in this instructive sixth-grade worksheet! Students will first read through an introduction explaining that when two is used as an exponent, you multiply a number by itself once. In part one, learners will use the square diagrams to write the corresponding multiplication expression, exponent expression, and value of the square. In part two, learners will change the written form of an expression to its exponent form. 

This practice is a great way to introduce young mathematicians to squares and exponents. The visual aids can help students better understand this foundational math concept. Learners will need to use exponents frequently as they continue to learn more advanced math skills, so it is important that they learn this concept!
