Content Area: Grade Level:
Math Integrated 8
Subject Matter:
Products and quotients in scientific notation
Lesson Content Description:
-Using scientific notation to simplify multiplying and
dividing very large and very small numbers

Instructional Strategies/Method of Delivery:

-whiteboard, vocab,
Common Core Standard:

CCSS.Math.Content.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)
ELD Standard:
Interpretive expanding
6. Reading/viewing closely
a. Explain ideas, phenomena, processes, and text relationships (e.g.,
compare/ contrast, cause/effect, problem/solution) based on close reading of
a variety of grade-appropriate texts and viewing of multimedia, with
moderate support.
Common Core Lesson Objective:
ASWBAT use scientific notation to simplify multiplying and dividing very large
and very small numbers.

Assessment:
Formative: homework review, guided practice problems, class discussion

Summative: n/a

Lesson/Assessment Modifications: ELL: Special Needs

n/a
Technology: Describe the types of technology you will be utilizing in your
lesson to create and enhance instruction
If no technology is used, please explain why.

LESSON PRESENTATION

INTO

Step-by-Step Anticipatory Set/Orientation

How did the homework go?
Display answers for students to check.
Review problems students had trouble with
Review the scientific notation rules
Explain that the new lesson will add onto the previous lesson.

THROUGH

Step-by-Step Modeling/Presentation of the Objective

Present lesson title and objective: Products and Quotients in Scientific
notation
Review product and quotient vocab

Step-by-Step Guided/Structured Practice of the Objective: Gradual

Release of Instruction
Example 1: Product (on worksheet)
Example 2: Quotient (on worksheet)
Show students how problems can be multiplied and divided in a way
that messes up the significant digit rule, so they have to adjust the
decimal and the exponent

Technology used to create and enhance modeling examples: Use a

publisher video to explain example

Checking for Understanding/Formative Assessment of Each

Students Performance/Closure of Instruction
Guided Practice 1: #1 on worksheet (pick student to present at board)
Guided Practice 2: #7 on worksheet (pick student to present at board)

Final Closure of Lesson: Closure question to reinforce instruction learned

-Students work on the Scientific notation intervention study guide p. 24
-Restate objective and review key learning at the end.
