Teaching guidance
- Standard form (scientific notation) writes a number as a x 10^n where 1 <= a < 10; use a positive exponent for numbers 10 or greater and a negative exponent for numbers between 0 and 1.
- The exponent counts how many places the decimal point moves: right (and negative exponent) for small numbers less than 1, left (and positive exponent) for large numbers.
