Exponents: Basic Cubes (to 10^3)

This Exponents: Basic Cubes printable helps 5th and 6th graders understand what it means to raise a number to the third power, covering cubes from 1 through 10.

How to Solve Exponents

Cubing a number means multiplying it by itself three times. For example, 4 cubed (4^3) means 4 x 4 x 4 = 64. First multiply the base by itself to get the square, then multiply that result by the base one more time to get the cube.
