Exponents Worksheets

Create an unlimited supply of worksheets for practicing exponents and powers. Students can solve simple expressions involving exponents, such as 3 3 , (1/2) 4 , (-5) 0 , or 8 -2 , or write multiplication expressions using an exponent. The worksheets can be made in html or PDF format (both are easy to print).

Options include negative and zero exponents, and using fractions, decimals, or negative numbers as bases. You can also make worksheets that have one other operation besides exponentiation (add/subtract/multiply/divide powers).

These worksheets are most useful in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, when exponents are introduced and practiced. Note: variables with exponents are not included (such as practiced in an algebra course).

Basic instructions for the worksheets

Each worksheet is randomly generated and thus unique. The answer key is automatically generated and is placed on the second page of the file.

You can generate the worksheets either in html or PDF format — both are easy to print. To get the PDF worksheet, simply push the button titled "Create PDF" or "Make PDF worksheet". To get the worksheet in html format, push the button "View in browser" or "Make html worksheet". This has the advantage that you can save the worksheet directly from your browser (choose File → Save) and then edit it in Word or other word processing program.

Sometimes the generated worksheet is not exactly what you want. Just try again! To get a different worksheet using the same options:
