$14.99 · Extensions sold separately
Overview
Ever wondered how to teach scientific notation and laws of exponents to 8th-grade students in an engaging way?
In this unit plan, students will first learn about converting numbers between scientific notation and standard form. Later on, they will build on this knowledge to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers in scientific notation.
Each lesson helps students master the unit through artistic, interactive guided notes, check for understanding, and culminates with a real-life example that explores how these mathematical concepts are applied in real-world situations.
It's an exciting way to teach scientific notation and laws of exponents while comprehensively meeting 8th-grade Common Core Standards.
- Standards: CCSS 8.EE.A.1, CCSS 8.EE.A.3, CCSS 8.EE.A.4
