Problem Solving with Scientific Notation Part III
Lesson 10 of 12
Objective: SWBAT to solve problems by performing operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation.
For today's Warm Up assignment, students must use their knowledge of scientific notation to solve two problems. As students work, I move throughout the room checking student work. I am watching for common errors like applying incorrect operations or failing to write numbers in scientific notation correctly.
Once the timer sounds after 5 minutes, I call the students to the smart board to go over the answers. I call on random students (selected from a cup of name sticks) to share the answers they found. We then work to come to consensus by class verification.

After finishing our work with the Work Time problems, I introduced the day's Learning Objective. I want my students to be aware of the objective so they more adequately reflect on their level of acquisition.
For today's Work Time assignment, I have selected a task from the Math Assessment Project called a_million_dollars_task. The task requires students to calculate a variety of numbers like the number of hamburgers that can be purchased with a million dollars.
Once student finish the task, I instruct students to create their own million dollar task problem.
