Basic Index Laws Worksheets (Scaffolded)

Carefully scaffolded index laws resource bundle designed to give students lots of practice with the same skill, helping build confidence and fluency without overwhelming them. This includes the three main laws (multiplicative, division and power law). There are also tasks for each laws which include coefficients too.

The questions start with straightforward examples with both bases using letters and numbers, gradually increasing in difficulty. Towards the end of each task, negative indices are introduced to provide a gentle stretch and encourage students to apply what they have learned prior about negatives in a new context.

Ideal for lower-attaining classes, students who need additional practice, or anyone who benefits from repetition and a gradual increase in challenge.
