What's on a Grade 8 scientific notation worksheet?

Each pack has up to 12 questions per page with a matching answer key, tuned to Grade 8, with beginner, intermediate, and advanced options so a teacher, tutor, or parent can match the learner's level.

How do you write a number in scientific notation?

Move the decimal so one non-zero digit sits in front of it, then use the number of places moved as the power of ten, positive for large numbers, negative for small.

When is the exponent negative?

When the number is less than 1 (like 0.0045) the exponent is negative, because you move the decimal to the right.
