Today we learned how to complete all four operations with numbers in scientific notation. Check out the videos below for a good review of what we learned in class. Our unit 2 summative assessment is next Tuesday.
Today we learned how to convert between standard form and scientific notation. We covered lessons 4-2 and 4-3, because they were so similar. 4-2 looked at using scientific notation for very large numbers. 4-3 looked at using scientific notation for very small numbers.
We started Scientific Notation! Scientific notation is a way of writing really big or really small numbers as a product of two factors. The first factor has to be a number from 1 up to 10 (but can't include 10). The second factor is always 10 with an exponent.
Today we reviewed all of Topic 4 (Scientific Notation) to help us study for our TEST TOMORROW!!!!
Next Thursday is the end of the quarter. You should get caught up on alllllllll of your missing homework from 1st quarter! You can also redo assignments that you got low scores on the first time you did them. Doing these assignments will help you study for our tests this week. Tuesday- Topic 4 TEST Thursday - Unit B TEST (covers Topic 2, Topic 3, and Topic 4) and your Study Plan is due (Additional Practice for Unit B). Your study plan includes the journal pages and the online Practice assignment that go with the intervention lessons you were assigned after the last Readiness assessment. If you need a good review of exponent properties and scientific notation, check out the lesson videos on BrainGenie. These videos review all the concepts we learned it Topics 3 and 4! Today we worked on a project in class using scientific notation. First we researched information about our designated place (planets, continents, oceans) and converted that information from standard form to scientific notation. Next, we worked with a partner to write ratios comparing all of our information with our partners information to find out how many times a characteristic is. In the third part of our project, we created Google slides using our district Google accounts. Your usernames is rl######@stu.rlas-116.org (the numbers are your student ID) and your password is ######## (your birthday in MMDDYYYY format, just like Pearson but without the RL). Finish your project over the weekend. Remember to share your slides with your teacher! Slide 1) Title and created by Slide 2) Information from the table in Task 1 Slide 3) Sentences comparing your data to your partner's data See the examples below. |
