Introduction

We've just finished the chapter on Exponents and Scientific notation. Let's do a review to ensure we have mastered each topic.

Exponents and Scientific notation

In this chapter we covered the following topics:

  •  Scientific notation 
  •  Compare and order numbers in scientific notation 
  •  Product of powers property 
  •  Power of a power property 
  •  Power of a product property 
  •  Division property of exponents 
  •  Power of a division and zero exponent properties 
  •  Multiplication properties with negative exponents 
  •  Division properties with negative exponents 
  •  Combine laws to simplify expressions 
  •  The laws of exponents and scientific notation 

Outcomes

8.EE.A.1

Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.

8.EE.A.3

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.

8.EE.A.4

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
