Thirty-six task cards, four to a printed page, each present a single exponential expression (such as 3⁻¹ · 3⁻⁴ or (b⁸)⁹) that students simplify mentally, applying the product law, quotient law, power-to-a-power rule, zero-exponent rule, or negative-exponent rule and expressing the result with positive exponents. The set moves through several bases, including numeric bases (2, 3, 4, 7, 10) and variable bases (n, b, v, x), so students see the same five laws applied across both number and variable expressions. A full answer key with the simplified value for all 36 cards and a numbered student recording sheet are both included, and the cards work for a scoot-style rotation, a 'Footloose'-style walk-around, verbal partner or station work, or small-group practice.
