Writing small numbers using scientific notation.
Simplifying with negative exponents.
Standard form to Scientific notation.
Scientific notation to standard form.
Standard form to scientific notation - negative powers.
Scientific notation to standard form - negative powers.
Lesson 1: (Writing number in scientific notation and standard form)
Warm-up - What is standard form and what is scientific notation - learners will come up with a definition of the two concepts in their own words and provide examples. (Groups will share their definitions and examples with the rest of the class).
The teacher will show the learners a short video on scientific notation and standard form, as well as go through a slide show with the learners, based on converting between scientific notation and standard form (The teacher will pause and ask the learners questions on and to discuss certain slides, to keep the learners engaged).
The learners will apply the knowledge obtained in the lesson to worksheets. (Learners will be given the opportunity to work by themselves or with a partners).
Exit ticket - Learners will select one of the problems that they solved and come up to the board and explain their process on how they solved it.
How to Change Numbers Into and Out of Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is commonly used in chemistry and physics to represent very large or very small numbers. Changing numbers into and out of scientific notation isn't as hard as it looks.
Converting Numbers Into Scientific Notation
2
Cross out the original number's decimal point. This is the first step to beginning to convert the number into scientific notation. If you're working with the number 0.00004205, just write an "x" over the decimal point.
3
Add a new decimal point to the number so that there's only one non-zero digit in front of it. In this case, the first non-zero number is 4, so place the decimal point after the 4 so that the new number reads 000004.205.
This works for large numbers, too. For example, 10,090,250,000,000 would become 1.0090250000000.
4
Rewrite this number to drop any insignificant digits. Insignificant digits are any zeros that are not in between other, non-zero digits.
For example, in the number 1.0090250000000, the zeroes at the end are insignificant, but the zeros between the 1 and then 9, and between the 9 and the 2, are significant. Rewrite this number as 1.009025.
In the number 000004.205, the leading zeros are insignificant. Rewrite this number as 4.205.
Warm-up - Writing a question in either standard form or scientific notation - when entering the class, the learners will receive a question on standard form or scientific notation, which they will need to complete. The learners will be called up at random to share their question and answer with the rest of the class.
The teacher will go through a slide show and notes with the learners on how to convert between standard form and scientific notation with negative powers. (The teacher will pause and ask the learners questions on and to discuss certain slides, to keep the learners engaged).
The learners will apply the knowledge obtained in the lesson to worksheets. (Learners will be given the opportunity to work by themselves or with a partners).
Exit ticket - Learners will select one of the problems that they solved and come up to the board and explain their process on how they solved it.
2
Write down how many places you would need to move the decimal. In the case of the number 5.2081 x 1012, you will be moving the decimal point over five spaces to the right. If the exponent is a -7, you move left seven places; if the exponent is a 5, move right five places.
3
Move the decimal point over, adding zeroes for every empty space. You may have to add them in front of or behind the number, depending on whether you are moving left or right. If you're moving the decimal point over 12 spaces to the right from the number 5.2081, then the new number becomes 5208100000000.
4
Write the new decimal point after you've moved over the correct amount of spaces.
5
Add commas to any number over 999. Go through the digits, from right to left, putting a comma in front of every group of three digits. For example, 5208100000000 becomes 5,208,100,000,000.

Discussing learners answers and why they chose to convert from standard form to scientific notation and visa versa in the way that they did.
