A one-stop resource for exponents, square and cube roots, scientific notation, and volume formulas guides learners through properties of exponents. As they learn to apply these properties to operations with scientific notation,...

In this place values and scientific notation instructional activity, students write the place values that correspond to the powers of ten. Kids then write the numbers in expanded form and then standard form. Students determine the place...

Zeroes are more important than they look! A guided practice activity takes learners through the process of both scientific and decimal notation, culminating in more complex word problems and equations.

You would think that humans make up more mass than ants do on this planet, but think again, and this time by performing calculations. Middle schoolers use scientific notation to compute and compare the estimated total mass of all humans...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Students explore universe, and examine how big it really is and how scientists measure the distances or sizes of things by estimating sizes of different objects and reading and writing numbers in scientific notations.

Even though pennies seem to be relatively thin, stack enough of them into a single stack, and you could have quite a high stack. Enough so, that the final result can be a surprise to you as well as your class. This activity centers...

Paper or plastic? Explore the environmental effects of using plastic bags through mathematics. Learners manipulate worldwide data on plastic bag consumption to draw conclusions.

Eighth graders play a game to solve problems. In this exponents and scientific notations lesson plan, 8th graders play a game in small groups to move colored disks from location A to location C. Students identify recursive patterns to...

What killed the dinosaurs and how do scientists know? Your high schoolers can examine these fascinating questions with a geochemical lens using the engaging 33-minute video, the accompanying data interpretation, and some thoughtful...

Pupilss explore science using technology in this lesson. They manipulate the TI to find important science topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

Middle schoolers note the similarities between decimals, fractions and percentages. They practice converting numbers between these types. They participate in an activity as well.

Students explore the components of matter. They discover what matter is, the states of matter, and how heat and cold cause it to change states in an online format. In addition, they complete internet-based lessons, activities, and quizzes.

Students use ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships as they investigate the concept of how percentages are used by designers. Students decorate the same room using three different percentages of colors.

Sixth graders enjoy playing Jeopardy as a review for expressing conversions between fractions, decimals and percents. This activity provides a fun, motivating way for students to demonstrate their learning!
