Scientific Notation packet is due at the end of class, along with the application activity.

DAY 29 ~ September 17th

The students were given an activity that is allowing them to use real world examples and practice the operations of scientific notation.

DAY 28 ~ September 16th

Students were exposed to the computation of scientific notation with all four operations WITHOUT a calculator. Lets just say that they appreciate the calculators a little bit more. ;)

DAY 27 ~ September 15th

Students continued to compute scientific numbers on the calculators in their packets (pink).

DAY 26 ~ September 14th

Quiz - Exponent Rules

Began exploring scientific notation on the calculators.
Remember we are using the following calculator:

Ti-30 XS multi-view

Some students are using the Ti-30 XIIs, however that model will limit the students in the class in a few months. The Ti-30 XS multi-view is what the students will be using on the Milestone, which is why I highly suggest getting the correct model. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome Back STUDENTs and PARENTs!!
