On Monday, to fortify our knowledge of scientific notation, we tackled two challenging problems from the Math Forum's problem of the week collection.
On Thursday, we completed a Math Forum Problem of the Week called "The Scientific Notation Game." Students liked the task and so we played the scientific notation game in class. Here's the task.
Sometimes, we can be deceived by the size of numbers written in scientific notation relative to one another. In this lesson, we talked about really how close two numbers written in scientific notation are--especially if they have different magnitudes.
In this lesson, we looked at multiplication and division with numbers written in scientific notation. We compared a few popular things, and some very obscure things.
In this lesson, we formally defined scientific notation and added and subtracted numbers written in scientific notation.
On Friday, we looked at estimating numbers as a single whole digit times a power of ten.
This lesson transitions us from rules and law governing exponents to a discussion of scientific notation. We talked about things that are really big and things that are really small.
Solutions for study guide attached.
This is the study guide handed out in advance of the first test. Please review and complete prior to taking the test. Solutions will be posted on Tuesday September 6.
