Cluster: Work with radicals and integer exponents
Standard: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3^2 × 3^(–5) = 3^(–3) = 1/(3^3) = 1/27.

This curriculum guide is very thorough and provides opportunity for students to master exponents. The GED test would probably have one, but perhaps two questions about exponents. Most GED testers would not want to spend so much time learning this topic if "passing the test" is their main objective. For college-bound students, however, this is excellent!
I like all the downloadable documents. The chart was a good way to organize the data.
This curriculum guide contains a variety of resources that scaffold understanding of exponents from concrete representations of squares and cubes to the more abstract operations that students might see on high-stakes exams. This resource can also be used to build teacher background knowledge.

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Strong (2)
While the Open Up Resources included in this guide are superior, in order to access detailed teacher notes and support for Students with Disabilities or English Language Learners, you will have to follow the link to the Open Up Resources website. If you don't already have an account with them, you will have to create one.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Superior (3)
Most of the items in this curriculum guide contain answer keys or anticipated student responses (which serve as answer keys). For the teacher who needs to increase background knowledge, I recommend the Lumen Learning resource described in this resource, as it includes teaching/learning videos, practice exercises, and a complete answer key that are short and to the point.
