Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Convert to scientific notation:

$\var{q2} =$ Gap 0. $\times 10$ ^{Gap 1.}

Advice

Suppose we have the number $\var{q2}$ . In scientific notation, this number would start with $\var{dec2}$ since we only want one digit in front of the decimal point. The decimal point is currently to the right of the last digit in $\var{q2}$ and needs to be between the first and second digits, i.e $\var{dec2}$ . Count the places that the digits must move and you get $\var{pow2}$ places. That is,

$\var{q2}=\var{dec2}\times 10^{\var{pow2}}$

We have a positive $\var{pow2}$ as the power because we need to make the number $\var{dec2}$ bigger to get to $\var{q2}$ .
