2. Adding & Subtracting with Scientific Notation Doing operations with numbers written in scientific notation

3. Next Generation Standard NxG.M.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. (CCSS Math.8.EE.4)

4. Defining Success 3 x 10 3 to 4 x 10 -3 to 3 x 10 -5 + 4 x 10 -4 to 3,000 0.004 4.3 x 10 -4

5. Let’s Get Started! You will soon be able to do calculations with numbers that are in scientific notation and determine the sum or difference.
