Today Is… Thurs, Oct 25 Do Now: Get out worksheet from yesterday Warm-up Announcements: Red Ribbon Week Tues – Wear RED Wed – Neon Day Thurs – Hat Day Friday – Lovinggood/Hillgrove Spirit wear HW: Today in class students will be learning….. how to compute operations with numbers in scientific notation because it helps me find how much greater one thing is to another. Boston, Metro DC area, Las Vegas, Los Angeles

Is always a power of 10. The power of the exponent tells you how many places to move the decimal.
A number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. It may or may not be a decimal.
4
Scientific notation is a shorthand way of writing such numbers.
Course 3 Scientific Notation An ordinary quarter contains about 97,700,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms. The average size of an atom is about centimeters across. The length of these numbers in standard notation makes them awkward to work with. Scientific notation is a shorthand way of writing such numbers.

Vocabulary Scientific Notation scientific notation Word Definition
Course 3 Scientific Notation Vocabulary Word Definition scientific notation A form of writing very large & very small numbers. Written as: Decimal number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Multiplied by power of 10. Ex: = 1.8 x 103
6
Course 3 Scientific Notation Positive exponents make the decimal larger because you are multiplying by powers of 10 (move to right). Negative exponents make the decimal smaller because you are dividing by powers of 10 (move to left). REMEMBER: A negative exponent is the same as dividing by that number with a positive exponent. EX: 10-3 =

Additional Example: Application
Course 3 4-4 Scientific Notation Additional Example: Application A pencil is 18.7 cm long. If you were to lay 10,000 pencils end-to-end, how many millimeters long would they be? Write the answer in scientific notation. 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters 18.7 centimeters = 187 millimeters Multiply by 10 to change from cm to mm. 187 mm 10,000 Find the total length. 1,870,000 mm Multiply.
47
Additional Example Continued
Course 3 4-4 Scientific Notation Additional Example Continued 1.87 10 Set up scientific notation. Think: The decimal needs to move right to change 1.87 to 1,870,000, so the exponent will be positive. Think: The decimal needs to move 6 places. In scientific notation the 10,000 pencils would be 1.87 106 mm long, laid end-to-end.
