8th Grade—6: Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology. (8-EE4) Teacher Note: Students must be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers expressed in scientific notation. The following activity can be used to enhance your teacher led instruction: Operations with Numbers in Scientific Notation Using real-world examples, students add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers written in scientific notation. Teacher Led lesson: Scientific Notation in Context (2 days) Alabama College and Career Ready Standards 8th Grade—6: Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology. [8-EE4] Teacher Note: Students need to be able to use scientific notation in the context of using units to report very large and very small quantities. The following activity can be used to enhance your teacher led instruction: IM - Choosing Appropriate Units - provides students with 4 real-world problem scenarios. Students write numbers in decimal form and scientific and then choose appropriate units to report quantities. IM - Giant Burgers - task that has students using operations with numbers in scientific notation to prove a newspaper headline is true. Presentation Strategy: These formative assessment activities can be done in small groups or with a partner. Have student groups present their problem solving strategies and solutions.
