6 to the 3rd power is not 6 times 3 it is 6 times 6 times 6 = 216.
For exponents all you do is see what the exponent is for my example it is 3 so all you would do is 6 times 6 times 6 you don't 6 times 3.
the 6 is called the base and the 3 is called the exponent.
You would use exponents if you had two or more of the same number of thing such as you had 2 pies and each pie had 6 pieces it would be 2 to the 6th power.
sorry Mr. oroak I had to make it in color because my page is black so i couldn't make it in black
