About This Chapter
MTTC Math (Secondary): Scientific Notation - Chapter Summary
Use the video lessons in this chapter to get reacquainted with scientific notation in preparation for the MTTC Mathematics (Secondary) assessment. The entertaining videos are designed to help you address the following on the exam:
- What scientific notation is
- How numbers are converted to scientific notation
- How numbers written in scientific notation are compared
You can review the lessons whenever you like, allowing you to absorb the material at your own pace. When you're not near a computer you can use either a smartphone or tablet to check out this chapter's lessons.
1. Scientific Notation: Definition and Examples
Scientific notation is a special way of writing numbers so they are easier to work with. This lesson will define scientific notations and show some examples of how to convert numbers from standard notation to scientific notation and back.
2. Converting Numbers to Scientific Notation
After watching this video lesson, you will be able to convert any number you come across into scientific notation. You will also learn why scientific notation is used and where you are most likely to see it.
3. Comparing Numbers Written in Scientific Notation
After watching this video lesson, you will be able to compare numbers written in scientific notation with each other. You will learn how to tell which is larger and which is smaller.
