To convert the standard form numbers into scientific format one needs to first put the decimal in the number to get the number in form of 1  to 10. this number will be the expression, and then from how many numbers the decimal is placed will be the power of the expression. So the number will be written in the form of a.b * 108. Students should practice convert standard form to specific notion problems to get a clear understanding of the topic and bring accuracy in calculations. 

Teachers can share these problems in the classroom to improve students’ understanding of the topic.

You can also try our Convert Standard Form To Scientific Notation Quiz as well for a better understanding of the concepts.
