Math worksheet for evaluating whole number exponents with practice problems.

Let’s solve each exponent problem step by step.

Remember:
An exponent like \( a^b \) means multiply \( a \) by itself \( b \) times.
Also, any number to the power of 0 is 1 (except 0⁰, which is undefined — but we don’t have that here).

Left Column:

1. \( 2^4 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 \)

2. \( 6^2 = 6 × 6 = 36 \)

3. \( 5^2 = 5 × 5 = 25 \)

4. \( 10^0 = 1 \) → Any non-zero number to the 0 power is 1.

5. \( 3^4 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81 \)

6. \( 4^2 = 4 × 4 = 16 \)

7. \( 7^2 = 7 × 7 = 49 \)

8. \( 8^2 = 8 × 8 = 64 \)

9. \( 10^4 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000 \)

---

Right Column:

1. \( 3^2 = 3 × 3 = 9 \)

2. \( 2^5 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32 \)

3. \( 9^0 = 1 \) → Again, any non-zero number to the 0 power is 1.

4. \( 1^3 = 1 × 1 × 1 = 1 \)

5. \( 5^3 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125 \)

6. \( 2^3 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 \)

7. \( 4^3 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 \)

8. \( 21^0 = 1 \) → Same rule: anything (non-zero) to the 0 power is 1.

9. \( 11^2 = 11 × 11 = 121 \)

All calculations checked and verified.

Final Answer:

Left column:
2⁴ = 16
6² = 36
5² = 25
10⁰ = 1
3⁴ = 81
4² = 16
7² = 49
8² = 64
10⁴ = 10000

Right column:
3² = 9
2⁵ = 32
9⁰ = 1
1³ = 1
5³ = 125
2³ = 8
4³ = 64
21⁰ = 1
11² = 121
