MA.8.AR.1.1 · Algebraic Reasoning
The Laws of Exponents move from numbers to variables in 8th grade pre-algebra, so students simplify monomials like (3x^3y^−2)^3 into 27x^9y^−6. The work covers products, quotients, powers of powers, and negative exponents on variable bases.
The FAST tests this with multiple choice items picking the equivalent expression and equation editor items where students type the simplified form. The signature error is multiplying exponents when the rule calls for adding them.
