This topic is either not present or appears to such a minimal extent as to be effectively not present. This topic is not present in the standard portion of the student text. The representation of units in various place-value locations is indicated as repeated multiplications of 10. Exponent notation is introduced with arrows that point to the exponent and base. A chart is given that shows the powers of ten as numbers, as repeated multiplications, and in exponent form.
Students complete some missing portions of the chart.
Students answer further questions translating between repeated products of 10 and exponent notation and vice versa. Also in the student handbook is an introduction to scientific notation as represented on calculators. Two values are indicated in standard form and scientific notation. Instructions are given in keystrokes to translate from exponent notation to standard form using two calculator brands. Four translation problems are given for solution by calculator.
