Description

If you've ever felt like you were in fantasy land when you've taught scientific notation, you are not alone. In this whimsical 21st Century Math Project, a human will journey to two fictional cities Giantville (where all the numbers are enormous) and Tinytown (where all the numbers are microscopic). Help the human navigate through the cities and even arrange trade between them!

In this 16 page document you will be given a mapping to the Content Standards and three assignments. ***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A GOOGLE SLIDES INTERACTIVE VERSION INCLUDED. REDOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY***


Included are:

-- In “Welcome to Giantville” and “Tinytown Welcomes You” students become acquainted with translating between scientific to standard notation.

-- In “Shopping in Giantville” and “Shopping in Tinytown” students practice basic operations with scientific notation.

-- In “Giantville Meets Tinytown: International Trade” students brainstorm a solution for converting between the currencies of the two countries. Students will then use these conversions to complete order forms for exports from each of the countries. This will be an opportunity for students to explore developing an algorithm.

An answer key has been added to the end of the file for your convenience.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 × 10⁸ and the population of the world as 7 × 10⁹, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.
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.
