Show answers and working
1. 16 and 4
4² = 4 × 4 = 16 √16 = 4 because 4 × 4 = 16
2. 49 and 7
7² = 7 × 7 = 49 √49 = 7 because 7 × 7 = 49
3. 81 and 9
9² = 9 × 9 = 81 √81 = 9 because 9 × 9 = 81
4. 121 and 11
11² = 11 × 11 = 121 √121 = 11 because 11 × 11 = 121
5. 125
Multiply 5 by itself 3 times. 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
6. 27
Multiply 3 by itself 3 times. 3 × 3 × 3 = 27
7. 64
Multiply 4 by itself 3 times. 4 × 4 × 4 = 64
8. 8
Multiply 2 by itself 3 times. 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
9. x^4
Multiplying: add the powers → x^7. Dividing: subtract the powers → x^7 ÷ x^3 = x^4.
10. x^10
Multiplying: add the powers → x^12. Dividing: subtract the powers → x^12 ÷ x^2 = x^10.
11. x^8
Multiplying: add the powers → x^10. Dividing: subtract the powers → x^10 ÷ x^2 = x^8.
12. x^8
Multiplying: add the powers → x^11. Dividing: subtract the powers → x^11 ÷ x^3 = x^8.
Worked examples
Work out 6² and √36.
- 6² = 6 × 6 = 36
- √36 = 6 because 6 × 6 = 36
- Answer: 36 and 6
Evaluate 3^4.
- Multiply 3 by itself 4 times.
- 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81
- Answer: 81
Simplify x^5 × x^6 ÷ x^3.
- Multiplying: add the powers → x^11.
- Dividing: subtract the powers → x^11 ÷ x^3 = x^8.
- Answer: x^8

Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Works out 3² as 6.
Correction: 3² means 3 × 3, not 3 × 2.
Multiplies indices when multiplying powers.
Correction: x³ × x⁴ = x⁷ — add, don't multiply.
Teacher tips
- · Write powers out in full before using index laws.
Parent tips
- · Spot square numbers on tiles or a chessboard.
Real-life applications
- · Area in square units, computer storage (powers of 2).
