Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation (A) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade
CCSS: 8.EE.A.3, 8.EE.A.4
CCSS Description: Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 × 108 and the population of the world as 7 × 109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger
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.

Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This is a great worksheet to use when you have recently introduced learners to the concept of standard form. Section A provides plenty of questions to practice converting large numbers to and from standard form. Section B provides a similar number of questions on writing small numbers in standard form and vice versa. Section C then provides a whole page of numbers that are not quite in standard form and need adjusting. This provides lots of purposeful practice to help your learners.
