Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers in a shorter, more condensed way, making them easier to work with.

  • 2

    When writing a number in scientific notation, you have a number that is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, multiplied by a power of 10.

  • 3

    To write a large number in scientific notation, move the decimal to the right of the first nonzero digit and count the number of places it moved, which becomes the positive exponent of 10.
