LESSON PLAN
1. Read the following to your students: "The CyberSquad tries to escape from a deserted island where Hacker has
stranded them. They have been told that a particular tree will help them escape. They find one lily pad and wonder
how they can use the lily pads to reach the nearest island, which is 128 lily pads away."
2. Tell the students that they will watch a video clip to see how the CyberSquad escapes from the deserted island.
Ask students to focus on what the CyberSquad notices about the increasing number of lily pads and how this will
help them escape.
Materials/Resource: SMART Notebook, SMART Board, laptop computer, document camera, notebook paper,
writing instruments, worksheets
Anticipatory Set:
daily warm up
Mystery word: A definition is placed on the board when students arrive to class. They are to
use their book glossary to find the word.
A number that shows repeated multiplication

5. Handout 1
2 x 2 x 2, they write 25
The 2 is called the base and the 5 is called the exponent. The base is number that is repeatedly
multiplied, and the exponent tells how many times to multiply the base times itself.
In the video clip the CyberSquad made a table of values that described the number of lily pads
after each doubling. The beginning of the table of values is reproduced below. Complete the
middle row of the table below.

Lily Pads

Because the number of lily pads is constantly doubled, each of the numbers in the bottom row
can be written as the number 2 raised to some exponent. In the bottom row write each number
of lily pads using exponential form.
