In this chapter, we explore exponentiation.

Exponentiation involves multiplying a number by the same number many times. The superscript tells us how many times to multiply the number. For example,

2³ = 2*2*2 = 8

This operation is also called "2 to the power of 3" or "2 to the 3rd power." 2 is the base and 3 is the power.
