Day 35: Multiplying Scientific Notation (Again)

Regular Math Objective: Multiply numbers in scientific notation

Regular Math Standards: 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. 

Regular Math Lesson Sequence:

  1. Visual Pattern #72. No students were able to do this, but the chart was helpful for student learning outcomes and when I did a fist of five after working it through as a whole class, the students agreed that they could do something like this if they saw it a second time. 
  2. QSSQ. Today's question was about the exit ticket from the day before and explaining what happens between the factors.
  3. Review Homework and Pepper
  4. Continue with homework practice (which we barely had time for). 


Honors Math Objective: Multiply numbers in scientific notation

Honors Math Standards: 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. 

Honors Math Lesson Sequence: We again did something similar to regular math, but we had extra time so I had the students work out problems on the marker boards that came from the homework that was supposed to be that night. Students went around and helped others if they finished early.
