Significant Digits Teacher Resources

Sal takes out the big guns - or in this case, big calculator - in this video, which carries the concept of significant figures even further. Sal shows how to multiply and divide significant figures using both electronic and handwritten...

Ready to add some innovation to your significant figures lesson? Pupils practice sig fig rules using a puzzle approach. Check out the Teacher's Area for printable materials, an answer key, and strategies for implementing the resource.

Are your lab results both accurate and precise? An interesting video lesson explains the difference between the two descriptions. Using error and percent error measurements, these descriptions become concrete and in turn leads to a...

Selecting the proper measurement requires thought; for example, an odometer shouldn't be used to measure millimeters due to a lack of preciseness. An informative video from a Socratica playlist explains the importance of significant...

In this significant figures worksheet, students solve nine problems. They indicate significant figures in given numbers, they perform calculations and express their answers with the proper number of significant figures and they solve...

For this significant figures worksheet, students indicate the number of significant figures in given measurements. They also perform calculations of multiplication, division, addition and subtraction and identify the number of...

Significant figures estimate the precision of your calculations. Teach your high school scientists how to count and identify significant figures at the beginning of the school year so that they are adept at using them in their...

In this significant digits worksheet, students review the rules of working with significant digits and then give the number of significant digits in the given measurements. This worksheet has 30 problems to solve.

Significant figures are fairly significant. An informative video teaches scholars to round multi-digit whole numbers. The method employed in the video is to round the numbers so that the result has a specified number of significant...

Science is full of big numbers, each of which can be several digits long. Learn how to determine the appropriate amount of numbers to display in answers as well as how to shorten those big numbers down to only a few and still display the...

In this significant digits worksheet, students are given the rules for determining the number of significant digits in calculations and measurements and they solve 5 problems.

Practice rounding numbers to a certain decimal by solving in-class problems. Learners will solve several multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction problems while rounding to a specific decimal. They will also check their work...

This is the grown-up version of the classic "float an egg in salt water" experience, plus an experiment in soap making. High schoolers explore density, but more importantly, practice accuracy, precision, and the use of significant...

In a hypothetical scenario, food chemists use titration to concoct a brine solution for producing the crunchiest pickles. They also analyze store-bought pickle juices. In addition to reinforcing titration techniques, the lesson requires...

In this scientific notation, significant figures, and factor-label method, high schoolers solve 1 problem where they perform mathematical functions and identify their answer in scientific notation with the proper number of significant...

In this significant figures worksheet, students read about how to determine significant figures in calculations and measurements. They practice identifying significant figures in five problems.

In this significant figures worksheet, students solve forty eight problems. They identify significant figures in numbers, they complete calculations of addition and subtraction and identify significant figures, they multiple and divide...

In this significant digits worksheet, students solve fifty six problems which include converting numbers to scientific notation, converting numbers from scientific notation to standard notation, determining significant digits in numbers...

In this significant digits worksheet, students are given the rules to finding significant digits when adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Students solve ten problems and express their answers with the proper number of...

Learners investigate the importance of significant figures through measuring and estimating. In this estimation and significant figures lesson plan, students measure pieces of paper and round their figures to the nearest marking on the...
