3rd graders listen up!! Laws os exponents are when you multiply exponents with the same variables its base such as v^2 * v^3, the product of the expression is v^2+3 which is equal to v^5.

"Pythagorean Theorem"
The opposite of squaring a number is finding the square root of a number.The Pythagorean Theorem formula means
it only works on right triangles. The formula is a^2+b^2=c^2. Yes you can draw a picture of it. We can apply the Pythagorean Theorem in real life, for example if you are carpeting your room, you might have to use the formula. A real life example of a right triangle is a ramp. To identify the hypotenuse in a right triangle you will have to use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2. No the Pythagorean Theorem will not hold for non-right triangles because this formula only works for right triangles.If we were only provided with information containing one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle ,and asked to find the other leg we would have to have to solve for b^2.

"Integral Exponents"
We cannot simplify expressions that do not have like terms because then there won't be nothing to combine. X^2y and xy^2 are not like terms because even though they have the same variables & exponents they are not written the same way. Xy and xyz cannot be combined because they do not have the same variables. The power of m^7 is 7, and the base is m. A negative base is a number or variable including a negative sign. If the base is x the negative base will be -x. A real life scenario involving exponents will be when you are putting carpet in your room.

"Unlike Terms"
X is different than x^2 because x^2 is x multiplied twice. For example, x^2= x*x. Yes,we combine terms that have the same exponent. They are called "like terms". To help you remember how to add and subtract integers you can draw a number line. 8m-2m is the same thing as 8m+-2m because if you subtract 8-2, it will be the same thing as 8+-2. Coefficients are numbers that are next to a variable. They are important because they tell you how many variables you have

'Like Terms"
Like terms are when you can combine an expression having the same variables and exponent.
100p and 3000p are like terms because they have the same variables. Yes we can combine them.
P and p^2 are not like terms because they both do not have exponents. We can not combine 2d+2f because they don't have the same variables. An expression cannot have an equal sign because ten it will not be an expression. It will be an equation.
Perimeter- Perimeter is the surrounding of a polygon.

Raft: This Land Is Your Land
How does the information in the box " A day in the life(of me!)" help the reader understand the article?
The information in the box "A day in life the(of me!)" helps the reader understand the article because of the format, how they arranged it from time to time. It is also easy to read because it is in a list format. For example, they state a time like 6:30-7:00 , then they write what does she do between that time. Moreover it had the time in bold and what she does in regular font.
