    Sha Mercs
    Exponential notation is used to express very large or very small numbers that are encountered in science and mathematics. It involves moving the decimal place in a number and writing it as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. Examples of using exponential notation to write numbers in scientific notation and changing between exponential and standard decimal notation are provided to illustrate the rules and process. Practice problems are assigned.

    Lesson Plan Exponential Notation

    Lesson 1: Explain that exponential notation is used to express very large or very small numbers. Space exploration involves very large distances and masses when we talk about planets. Chemistry and biology involve very large numbers because matter is made up of very small atoms. For example we could express the speed of light as 300 000 000 m/ In chemistry a certain number of molecules is called as mole. It is a very large number because molecules are very small. The mole represents 602 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 molecules. Using exponential notation will make the value more easier to work with. Study the example below: 85,000,000 = 8.5 x 10,000,000 --- the decimal point was moved seven places to the left. To write a number in exponential notation, write the number as a product of a number greater than 1 but less than 10, and an integral power of ten. This is referred to as scientific notation. A number is expressed in scientific notation when it is in the form a x 10n , where 1 < a < 10 and n is an integer. Example: Write the following numbers using exponential notation. a. 78000000 = 7.8000000 x 107 = 7.8 x 107 Decimal point moves 7 places to the left. b. 0.0000564 = 0.0000564 x 10-5 Decimal point moves 5 places to the right. c. 49,356 = 4.9356 x 104 The exponents tell how many places the decimal point was moved. Express the following in decimal notation or integer form. a. 3.7 x 106 = 3700000 b. 2.18 x 105 = 218000 c. 8.54 x 10-7 = 0.000000854 Rules in writing a number from integer form (decimal form) to exponential notation 1. Move the decimal point so that there is one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point. 2. Multiply the result in rule no. 1 by a power of 10, with the exponent showing the number of places the decimal point was moved. Note: If the decimal point was moved to the left, the exponent is positive; if the decimal point is moved to the right, the exponent is negative. Rules in writing a number from exponential notation to integer form (decimal form). 1. Move the decimal point to the number of places indicated by the exponent of 10. 2. Move the decimal point to the right if the exponent is positive, and to the left if the exponent is negative. Provide worksheet #9 for practice mastery.
