The Metric SystemStupid Americans (The Standard System) Rules for Converting using the golden ticket Find the two places you are on the sheet (units) Count DOWN the sheet by 10, always down starting with 1 (ex. 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000) Find the conversion unit (first and last number) Set up the equation (same way every time) Follow through with the order of operations, crossing off diagonal units Easier way Move up the sheet, count starting with 0 and move the decimal point left. (Divide) Move down the sheet, count starting with 0 and move the decimal point right (Multiply)

The Metric SystemStupid Americans (The Standard System) Scientific Notation – Scientists use scientific notation to express very large or small numbers. For instance, the span of the universe is expressed and the size of viruses are expressed in scientific notation Rules for converting (10, 345) Move the decimal to make a number between 1 and 10. Write (x 10 number of spaces) Move the decimal to the right, + exponent (1.0345 x 104) Move the decimal to the left, - exponent Scientific Notation – going the other way The exponent is the number of places you move the decimal If the decimal is negative (-), move left If the decimal is positive (+), move right
