6A – Review of Indices
What are indices?
An index is a small number that tells us how many times a term has
been multiplied by itself.
The plural of index is indices.
Below is an example of a term written in index form:

43 index

base

4 is the base and 3 is the index.


We can read this as ‘4 to the power 3’
Another way of expressing 43 is

4×4×4=64
Indices can be positive or negative numbers.
