Teaching Scientific Notation

Scientific notation means presenting very large numbers or very small numbers in a simpler form. To multiply numbers in scientific notation you should multiply the decimal number. The primary reason why students should solve a scientific notation test is to enhance their understanding of this concept. They can easily assess whether they have robust knowledge of Scientific notation. 


 

Teachers can share this test in class to enhance students' understanding.
