  1. Exponents and Scientific Notation Unit Objectives (8th Grade) 8.EE.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions 8.EE.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 x 108 and the population of the world as 7 x 109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger. 8.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 (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology. 8.NS.1 Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.

  2. Math Practices • MP.1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively • MP. 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • MP.4 Model with mathematics. • MP.5 Use appropriate tools strategically. • MP.6 Attend to precision. • MP.7 Look for and make use of structure. • MP.8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

  3. Unit Vocabulary • Base - When a number is raised to a power, the number that is used as a factor. • Exponent - The number that indicates how many times the base is used as a factor. • exponential form - A number is written in exponential form when it has a base and an exponent. • zero exponent - For every non-zero number a, a0 = 1. • Multiplication Property of Exponents - For any nonzero number a and integers m and n, am•an=am+n • scientific notation - A method of writing very large or very small numbers by using a number written between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10

  10. Adding and Subtracting with Scientific Notation Astronomers rely on scientific notation in order to work with 'big' things in the universe. The rules for using this notation are pretty straight-forward, and are commonly taught in most 7th-grade math classes as part of the National Education Standards for Mathematics. The following problems involve the addition and subtraction of numbers expressed in Scientific Notation. For example: 1.34 x 108 + 4.5 x 106 = 134.0 x 106 + 4.5 x 106 = (134.0 + 4.5) x 106 = 138.5 x 106 = 1.385 x 108 With a partner discuss what is happening in each step and create rules for addition. Will your rules work for the following problems? 1) 1.34 x 1014 + 1.3 x 1012 = 2) 9.7821 x 10-17 + 3.14 x 10-18 = 3) 6.5 x 10-67 - 3.1 x 10-65 = 4) 3.872 x 1011 - 2.874 x 1013 =

  11. Multiply and Divide Scientific Numbers Multiplying numbers in scientific notation • Multiply numbers normally next we multiply the powers of 10. (Add exponents) Dividing numbers in scientific notation Find: (1.24 x 10⁻²) ÷ (3.1 x 10⁻³) • First divide 1.24 by 3.1 to obtain 0.4 = 4 x 10⁻¹. Now divide powers of 10: 10⁻² ÷ 10⁻³ 10⁻²⁻(⁻³)= 10⁻²+³= 10¹ The answer is (4 x10⁻¹) x 10¹= 4 x10⁰ = 4.

  12. Multiplication and Division with Scientific Notation Once you have watched the video, what rules do you think could be made for multiplying and dividing with Scientific Notation numbers? Additional Practice: Problem 1: The sun produces 3.9 x 1033 ergs per second of radiant energy. How much energy does it produce in one year (3.1 x 107 seconds)? Problem 2: One gram of matter converted into energy yields 3.0 x 1020 ergs of energy. How many tons of matter in the sun is annihilated every second to produce its luminosity of 3.9 x 1033 ergs per second? (One metric ton = 106 grams) http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/371727main_SMII_Problem9.pdf
