Exponent Rules and Scientific Notation Review
A reference-plus-practice review module for 8th graders covering exponent rules, scientific notation, and the number system, including key term definitions and review problems. Students work through the problems while consulting the reference page, which builds fluency with powers of 10 and the ability to compare magnitudes. The questions are written fresh from the source test, so students practice the same skills without seeing the original items.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 45-minute independent or partner review after the unit, with students keeping the reference page beside them as they solve the problems.
- Discussion question: Why does writing 1.5 × 10^8 make it easier to compare a number like this to 3 × 10^5 than writing out every digit?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have them first rewrite each key term in their own words and work one example problem aloud with you before attempting the rest.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to explain why every rational number has a repeating or terminating decimal, and to find an irrational number between 3 and 4.
- Estimated time: about 45 minutes for the full set of review problems, plus 10 minutes for a whole-class answer check.
