"Exercise" and "practice" are slightly different. In this context, they are used as nouns and both mean a small activity or task to test out a skill. As verbs, however, their use is different. "Practice" as a verb means to do something repetitively in order to get better at it, whereas "exercise" means to either engage in physical activity, or to utilize or apply something. Ex: Let's start class with a small math exercise. Ex: Our schools makes us exercise for 30 minutes in the afternoon. Ex: I have soccer practice five days a week. Ex: I want to improve my handwriting by practicing everyday.
