Writing Repeated Multiplication as Powers
Name: _____________________________
Date: _____________________________
Remember: When we multiply the same number repeatedly, we can write it as a power.
Example: 5 × 5 × 5 = 5³ (we say "5 to the power of 3" or "5 cubed")

= __________
4. 9 × 9
= __________
5. 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
= __________
6. 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
= __________
Part B: Write these powers as repeated multiplication
1. 6³
= _________________________________
2. 5⁴
= _________________________________
3. 8²
= _________________________________
4. 2⁶
= _________________________________
5. 4⁵
= _________________________________
Part C: Calculate the value of these powers
1. 2³ = __________
