In this unit, students make connections between Scientific Notation and the Laws of Exponents. Students have just completed the unit on exponents, and are familiar with how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide expressions that contain exponents. After making the connection, students are able to apply their new knowledge to real-world problems. Students come up with generalizations about the kinds of numbers that are being converted into Scientific Notation.<\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson #1: Converting Numbers in Scientific Notation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Before This Lesson:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This lesson will be the second day of this unit. Before this lesson, students will have seen numbers in Scientific Notation. They will understand that the first factor must be greater than 1 but less than 10, and they will understand that the factor is multiplied by a power of 10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Standards:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EE.3: Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times and 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.<\/li>\n<li>EE.4: 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students will be able to convert numbers in Standard Form into Scientific Notation.<\/li>\n<li>Students will be able to convert numbers in Scientific Notation into Standard Form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Resources and Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teacher\n<ul>\n<li>Cards with numbers in both Standard Form and Scientific Notation<\/li>\n<li>Whiteboard\/Marker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Student\n<ul>\n<li>Pencil\/Paper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Learning Tasks:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Matching Activity: The teacher will give groups of students cards with numbers on them. Half of the cards will have certain numbers in Standard Form, while the other half of the cards will have the same numbers in Scientific Notation. Their task is to match up the Standard Form with the Scientific Notation.<\/li>\n<li>See-Think-Wonder: After students have matched up cards with their group members, explain the \u2018See-Think-Wonder\u2019 activity to students. Allow students to explore their thinking with the previous activity. They will be looking at pairs of numbers (one in Standard Form, and one in Scientific Notation). Students will write down their thoughts for each of the 3 \u2018stages\u2019 in this routine.<\/li>\n<li>Class Discussion: The teacher will lead a class discussion over the previous activities. The teacher will put ideas and thoughts on the board to make thinking visible for students.<\/li>\n<li>Procedure: The teacher will first ask groups to come up with a \u2018procedure\u2019 for going from Scientific to Standard and vise versa. They will once again be focusing on the pairs they formed with the cards in the initial matching activity. Give students plenty of time to come up with this process. At the end of class, share out ideas. End the lesson by solidifying a process for converting these numbers (if one of the groups doesn\u2019t come up with a legitimate process, the teacher will have to show them).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students will be informally assessed during the matching activity. The teacher will walk around and observe the pairs of numbers students are grouping together.<\/li>\n<li>Students will be more formally assessed during the See-Think-Wonder activity. The teacher will collect the notes that students write down for each \u2018stage\u2019 in the routine. The teacher will informally assess as well by listening to students during their discussion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Social Media:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dme-G4rc6NI&amp;t=33s\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dme-G4rc6NI&amp;t=33s<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/g_brgmn\/status\/862125418589147136\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/g_brgmn\/status\/862125418589147136<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GAM4ths\/status\/877937172157931521\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/GAM4ths\/status\/877937172157931521<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Lesson #2: Comparing Numbers in Scientific Notation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Before This Lesson:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This lesson would be the 4<sup>th<\/sup> or 5<sup>th<\/sup> day of the unit.
