Scientific Notation

Topics for Today:

Today we used exponents in a practical way when we learned about scientific notation.  Scientific notation is simply a way to write very large and very small numbers that follow a few rules.

Simply stated, scientific notation is the product of a number and a power of 10 that follows the format: 
a x 10n  where n is an integer and 1 a < 10
