Title: Operations With Scientific Notation Introduction
Description:

In this learning activity, a teaching video will help students learn how to perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems with both decimal and scientific notation. The students will 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). Finally, they will interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology.

 

This learning activity can be used as a stand-alone activity or a Before Activity. The During and After activities can be found in the Notes or Recommendations section.

Title: Combining Like Terms With Rational Coefficients
Description:

In this learning activity, students will learn how to rewrite algebraic expressions by combining like terms. The students will apply properties of operations to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions. The lesson offers a teaching video and additional problems for partner work to check for understanding. 

 

This learning activity can be used as a stand-alone activity but is best used as a core lesson activity. Corresponding activities can be found in the Tools or Recommendations section.

Title: Intro to Combining Like Terms With Rational Coefficients
Description:

In this learning activity, the students will be reminded that in simple addition they learned to add all the numbers together to get a sum. In algebra, numbers are sometimes attached to variables. The students will learn that they need to make sure that the variables are alike before they can add the numbers. This learning activity can be used as a stand-alone activity but is best used as an introductory activity. Corresponding activities can be found in the Tools or Recommendations section.

Title: Comparing Powers of 10
URL: https://aptv.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/mgbh-math-ee-compow/comparing-powers-of-10/
Description:

Use powers of 10 to investigate scientific notation. This interactive exercise focuses on determining which of a series of numbers written in scientific notation is larger and by what magnitude then you need to use your critical thinking skills to determine methods for general cases.

This resource is part of the Math at the Core: Middle School collection.
