8.7 Exponents and Scientific Notation

Lesson 1

  • I can use exponents to describe repeated multiplication.
  • I understand the meaning of a term with an exponent.

Lesson 2

  • I can explain and use a rule for multiplying powers of 10.

Lesson 3

  • I can explain and use a rule for raising a power of 10 to a power.

Lesson 4

  • I can evaluate $10^0$ and explain why it makes sense.
  • I can explain and use a rule for dividing powers of 10.

Lesson 5

  • I can use the exponent rules with negative exponents.
  • I know what it means if 10 is raised to a negative power.

Lesson 6

  • I can use the exponent rules for bases other than 10.

Lesson 7

  • I can change an expression with a negative exponent into an equivalent expression with a positive exponent.
  • I can choose an appropriate exponent rule to rewrite an expression to have a single exponent.

Lesson 8

  • I can use and explain a rule for multiplying terms that have different bases but the same exponent.

Lesson 9

  • Given a very large or small number, I can write an expression equal to it using a power of 10.

Lesson 10

  • I can plot a multiple of a power of 10 on such a number line.
  • I can subdivide and label a number line between 0 and a power of 10 with a positive exponent into 10 equal intervals.
  • I can write a large number as a multiple of a power of 10.

Lesson 11

  • I can plot a multiple of a power of 10 on such a number line.
  • I can subdivide and label a number line between 0 and a power of 10 with a negative exponent into 10 equal intervals.
  • I can write a small number as a multiple of a power of 10.

Lesson 12

  • I can apply what I learned about powers of 10 to answer questions about real-world situations.

Lesson 13

  • I can tell whether or not a number is written in scientific notation.

Lesson 14

  • I can multiply and divide numbers given in scientific notation.
  • I can use scientific notation and estimation to compare very large or very small numbers.

Lesson 15

  • I can add and subtract numbers given in scientific notation.

Lesson 16

  • I can use scientific notation to compare different amounts and answer questions about real-world situations.
