The age of the Earth is about 4, 540, 000, 000 years old.
The mass of a helium atom is 0.000000000000000000000007 grams.
The distance from the sun to the Earth is approximately 149, 600, 000
kilometres or 92, 900, 000 miles.

person encounter that involve numbers this long?”
Possible Answer:
It will take a lot of time to write out these numbers.
Longer numbers lead to more errors.
The teacher lets the students realize that dealing with a very large and very

G. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living
The teacher summarizes the mathematical skills or principles used to write
numbers in scientific notation and its definition through questions like:
1. What is scientific notation?
2. How do you write standard form to scientific notation?
3. How do you write scientific notation to standard form?
Answers shall be drawn from the students.
Possible Answers:
1. Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are very large and
very small to be conveniently written in decimal form.
2. To write standard form to scientific notation, follow these steps:
For a large number
Step 1: Move the decimal point to the left until you have a number
H. Making generalizations greater
and abstractions about than or equal to 1 and less than 10.
the lesson Step 2: Count the number of decimal places you moved the decimal point
to the left and use that number as the positive power of 10.
Step 3: Multiply the decimal (in Step 1) by the power of 10 (in Step 2).
For a small number
Step 1: Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number
greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.
Step 2: Count the number of decimal places you moved the decimal point
to the right and use that number as the negative power of 10.
Step 3: Multiply the decimal (in Step 1) by the power of 10 (in Step 2).
3. To write scientific notation to standard form, move the decimal point to the
left (if the exponent of ten is a negative number), or to the right (if the
exponent is positive). Move the point as many times as the exponent indicates
and do not write the power of ten anymore
I. Evaluating Learning The teacher lets the students answer individually the formative assessment.
