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,...

Pupils observe the teacher writing numbers and determine the rules for scientific notation. After explanations, they perform operations on numbers in scientific nation and discuss reasons for using this method of writing numbers and...

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...

Develop a radical approach to covering the Smarter Balanced targets for 8th grade math with a presentation that helps further develop math skills. Seven sample items demonstrate the expectation for working with integer exponents,...

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...

In need of an all-inclusive seventh grade math resource? Packed full of the topics necessary for Pre-Algebra the packet includes practice problems with different difficulty levels. It works great for any supplemental use needed...

Sixth graders are introduced to and practice the concept of scientific notation. Following a brief description of scientific notation and a demonstration of how to convert numbers to scientific notation, 6th graders practice writing...

Discuss scientific notation with this mathematics lesson. Middle schoolers predict which problem is bigger of two numbers. They analyze the problems by observing the powers of 10 in order to decide which is bigger. This appears to be an...

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.

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...
