This week in math, we will work on scientific notation. Specifically, students will learn the following about scientific notation:
- Form (proper form) and function (when, how it is used in real-life)
- Converting: standard form <--> scientific notation
- Ordering & comparing numbers in scientific notation
- Performing operations / computation on numbers in scientific notation
To be most successful with these standards, it is important that students are familiar with the following terms:
* Coefficient
* Power of 10
* Base
* Exponent
We will continue to reinforce the properties of exponents as we study scientific notation. Students will be asked to make connections to the properties as they work with numbers in scientific notation.
The agenda for the week is listed below. This agenda is subject to change based on students' needs.
