Homework and ET #24 / Lesson Objective: SWBAT Convert numbers from scientific notation to standard notation on an exit ticket with 80% accuracy.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.A.3
Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other.For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 times 108and the population of the world as 7 times 109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.
Do Now / Review of writing numbers in scientific notation.
Questions to Push Student Thinking / What is scientific notation? Why do we use scientific notation?
How do we convert numbers from scientific notation to standard notation? How do we know how many spaces to move to the right?
Where is the decimal point in a whole number such as 4?
When we are moving the decimal point to the right, what operation are we doing [multiplying by 10]
Extension: when do we move decimal point to the left or right? Why? What operation are we doing when we are moving to the left?

Scientific Notation

This week, we’ve learned how to write numbers in scientific notation. Today, we’re going to work on the opposite – writing numbers in standard notation from scientific.

Examples:

It is about 4 x 105 miles from the earth to the moon.
How far is it from the earth to the moon?
The average human hair is approximately 2.1 x 10-4 meters thick. How thick is it in standard notation?
4 x 10-6 / 5.1 x 103 / 6.01 x 10-5
4.51 x 102 / 7.2 x 10-3 / 9 x 105
