Lesson Objective

Revise how to write numbers using Standard Form

Understand what the notation for Standard Form Means

Begin to use a calculator to solve problems involving Standard Form

Match the items with their correct sizes.

Can you write each size in Standard Form?

A number written in Standard Form will always look like this:

a × 10n

Number here MUST be:

1 a < 10

Must always be written as × 10n

n is +ve for big numbers

n is –ve for small numbers

Important key facts about Standard Index Form

Write the number in the following form:

a × 10nNumber here MUST be:

1 ≤ a < 10

Must always be written as × 10n

n is +ve for big numbers

n is –ve for small numbers

Eg 6.23 × 105 = 623000

4.21 × 10-3 = 0.00421

Using your calculator to solve problemsInvolving SI Form

Compare these two problems

1)A car travels 600 m in 84 seconds. What is its average speed during the journey?

2) A particle travels 5 × 108 m in

3 × 103 seconds what is the average speed of the particle during the journey?

Important key facts about Standard Index Form

Write the number in the following form:

a × 10nNumber here MUST be:

1 ≤ a < 10

Must always be written as × 10n

n is +ve for big numbers

n is –ve for small numbers

Eg 6.23 × 105 = 623000

4.21 × 10-3 = 0.00421

For S.I. Form without a calculator:

When multiplying and dividing use the normal index laws, but make certain the final answer is properly in S.I. Form

Eg. 7×104 × 3×105 = 21×109

= 2.1×1010

When adding and subtracting take the numbers out of S.I. Form (or at least adjust them so that the index is the same) then add/subtract as normal

Eg. 7×103 + 3×105 = 7×103 + 300×103

= 307×103

= 3.07×105

(or do 7000 + 300000 = 307000 = 3.07 ×105)

Let a = 3 × 106 b = 2 × 10-4 c = 5 × 107 d = 8 × 106

Find:

a) a × b

b) c2

c) a × c

d) d ÷ b

e) b ÷ d

f) a + d

g) a + c

h) a - c
