Induction set:

1. Teacher ask students to write T: I want a volunteer, who can Laws of indices
the law of indices, negative and write the law of indices at the Negative indices
fractional indices that they have mahjong paper. Fractional indices
learnt before in the mahjong
paper Answer :
( mahjong paper on the Laws of indices :

Perform combined operation of 1. Teacher write two example

multiplication, division and
raised of power involving
positive, negative and
fractional indices
on the white board .
2. Teacher ask students to give
idea to solve the problems
3. Teacher gives an
explanation for the example
T: Here I have an example Negative indices
question. Have anybody got Fractional indices
idea to solve this problems? Indices
Raised of
T: Now I want you to hear base
carefully what I want to explain
because after this you have a
task to do.

Evalution Teacher ask students to form a

group. Each group will get a Handout 1
card and they have to solve the
problem .

Teacher gives 10 minutes to

solve the question.

After that, one students for

each group present their answer

Conclusion Teacher ask students what they Student responses
