This math unit begins with students learning how to multiply decimals in scientific notation, starting with tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, and progressing to multiplying normalized numbers without decimal places. The unit then introduces division of large numbers by powers of ten (tens, hundreds, thousands), building foundational skills in handling large numerical values through division. Advancing further, the unit explores division and multiplication involving numbers expressed in scientific notation, both with and without decimal places, focusing also on handling negative exponents and decimal manipulations. Students practice the multiplication and division of numbers normalized to zero decimal places, facilitating a deeper understanding of scientific notation's application in dividing and multiplying decimal numbers. Towards the end, the focus shifts to managing scientific notation operations involving powers of ten, both multiplying and dividing, enhancing the students' proficiency in applying exponent rules and understanding the impact of these operations on decimal places. This progression solidifies their ability to manipulate and solve problems involving scientific notation across various complexities.
