Class Topics: 09.18.13

In Common Core Math Six today, students in 1, 3, and 4° reviewed the results from last night's Google Form.  Mr. Giomini posed a question to students that involved today's material, Lesson 2.2 - Powers of Ten and Scientific Notation.  He then modeled and students practiced questions involved those skills.

The Earth is approximately 93,000,000 miles from the sun.  How long does it take
light from the sun to reach the earth?  Use the speed of light to be
1.86 X 10^5 miles per second.

Students in 2° discussed their Chapter One posttest results with Mr. Giomini before reviewing some material before they began Lesson 2.1 - Exponents.  

Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

• represent larger numbers using exponents.  (1,3, and 4°)
• convert between standard notation and scientific notation.   (1,3, and 4°)
• explain what makes a number expressed in scientific notation.   (1,3, and 4°)
• fluently solve problems using different exponents.  (2°)

For Evening Practice,  the student is expected to...

•  1,3, and 4° -
• complete Lesson 2.2 Practice B and either Problem Solving or Challenge based on classroom assessment.  (CLICK HERE)
• 2° -
