Why does 2³ × 2² = 2⁵?

Exponents count factors. The first power has three factors of 2, and the second has two more. Together, that makes five.

When multiplying powers with the same base, keep the base and add the exponents.

0.75 stops. 0.333… repeats.

Both are rational because both equal fractions:

0.75 = 3/4
0.333… = 1/3

A rational decimal either terminates or eventually repeats a fixed pattern. That’s the rule.

math8 Ss @FJHChargers focused on application problems of Pythagorean Thm. Ss started with a 🧩 . Then I introduced them to 📺 show Homestead Rescue. We found the connection & brainstorm other jobs that would use Pyth Thm. Found out 1 of my Ss used to homestead! #seeigmath

Old guy here (76 old). My dad dragged I/O cables between walls programming I think nr 2 mainframe after ww2. Years later built this.

He always said "we couldn't have stopped anything, but perhaps we should have tried to delay it"

David Shapiro.
Before he built this he had pulled cables from one wall to another to program the second mainframe after WW2.

How strange. My dad pulled IO cables from one wall to another to program a mainframe after WW1. Later, he devised this. Hired nothing but women .....

Make your office your favorite room in your house and then you aren’t bummed when you have to work from home over break. Recorded my first @citizenmath.bsky.social conversations episode to preview the January math8 collaboration call.

My dad designed and produced this. Along the way, HP bought up some patents. They sent him (late 19's !!!) a prototype touch screen desktop. Terrible idea, if you ask me

My dad after ww2 worked on one of the first (but not THE) mainframes, programming by pulling cables from one wall to another and hoping there wouldn't be a thunderstorm.

Later on he did this:

@natanael.bsky.social I am old. So, I understand little of what you post, but try to appreciate it as poetry. My dad (who was a WW2 tail gunner) programed one of the first mainframes after WW2 by pulling cables from one wall to another. Later on...

Thanks @citizenmath.bsky.social for the inspiration w/ the lesson Opportunities Cost. Love being able to add in an extension & include a community member expert. Interested in learning more about this lesson and how you can customize it, join me in February for the math8 Lesson Collaboration call.
HonAlg Ss tackle unit6&7 performance task: where Ss analyze whether college “pays off”. Ss👀how salaries of job, amt of scholarships, & loans impact the❓. @UrbanJason adds his expertise about options the high school offers that can lower the financial impact #makeitreal
