This math topic focuses on converting small decimal numbers into scientific notation with two decimal places accuracy. Students practice the skill of expressing decimals in a format that includes a coefficient (a number typically between 1 and 10) multiplied by a power of ten, which simplifies the representation of very small or precise numbers. This specific skill falls within the broader unit on decimal multiplication, helping to develop a deeper understanding and proficiency in handling decimals and their applications in scientific and mathematical contexts.
