What's on this sheet
The one idea to get right is what the little raised number means: 3⁴ is not 3 × 4, it is 3 multiplied by itself four times — 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81. Squares (n²) and cubes (n³) are the two a child meets first and uses most, so they get their own focus; general powers put base and exponent together once those feel solid.
Why this sheet works
Bases and exponents are kept small so every answer is a manageable whole number a child can build by repeated multiplication and check. Getting fluent here pays off immediately in order of operations, where powers are evaluated before multiplication and division.
