Mon Sept 26 - Exponents & Divisibility

Today we corrected "1.6 Square Roots"

We learned that:
Squared means to the exponent 2
Cubed means to the exponent 3

We learned that numbers are divisible:
By 2 - If they are even
By 5  - If they end in 5 or 0
By 4 - If the last two digits of the number are divisible by 4  
For examples one million, one hundred twenty-four thousand and twenty-four (1,124,024) *is* divisible by four because the last two digits (24) is divisible by 4.


HW - 1)  Finish "1.4 Calculating Powers"
2)  Use the internet to find the divisibility rule for 3 and for 9. On the same piece of paper as the notes you took in class write a sentence to explain the rule and give an example.

Easy BONUS: Find the best youTube video that explains the divisibility rules.
Difficult BONUS: Research and briefly explain *why* the rules for 3 and 9 work.
