Week at A Glance: October 22, 2012

This week in math, we will continue with the scientific notation mini unit. Students are now familiar with scientific notation and most of them are able to convert numbers to and from scientific notation. The learning goals for the unit are for students to be able to:

• Express numbers in scientific notation (convert from standard form)
• Convert scientific notation expressions to standard form
• Recognize when expressions are / are not in proper scientific notation
• Compare and order scientific notation expressions
• Multiply & divide scientific notation expressions
• Add & subtract scientific notation expressions
• Powers with scientific notation (Adv Content)

Students will take a test over scientific notation on Friday.

Thereafter, we will begin the equations unit in which students will learn to solve multi-step algebraic equations and write equations to represent situations from word problems.
