Scientific Notation-Instruction Card 
Students create an instruction card that details how to write numbers in scientific notation. Aligns to Ok Process Standards, Grades 6-8 Process Standard 1: Problem Solving; 6. Use oral, written, concrete, pictorial, graphical, and/or algebraic methods to model mathematical situations. Process Standard 2: Communication; 1. Discuss, interpret, translate (from one to another) and evaluate mathematical ideas (e.g., oral, written, pictorial, concrete, graphical, algebraic); 2. Reflect on and justify reasoning in mathematical problem solving (e.g., convince, demonstrate, formulate); and 3. Select and use appropriate terminology when discussing mathematical concepts and ideas. Grade 8 PASS: Standard 2: Number Sense and Operation – The student will use numbers and number relationships to solve a variety of problems; 1. Number Sense: Represent and interpret large numbers and numbers less than one in exponential and scientific notation.
