This math topic focuses on converting decimal numbers to scientific notation with two decimal places. It is part of a broader unit on decimal multiplication practice. Learners are required to express small decimals in the scientific notation format, where each problem presents a decimal that students must format as a product of a coefficient (limited to two decimal places) and a power of ten. The problems range through various decimal values requiring different negative exponent values to correctly express the number in scientific notation. This practice helps enhance understanding of decimals, powers of ten, and the format of scientific notation.
