Scientific Notation - How to use the Casio fx-260SOLAR calculator
This worksheet is designed to get students to be able to get numbers into the Casio fx-260SOLAR calculator in Scientific Notation. I give a button-by-button guide on how to get numbers into the calculator so students can see what numbers in scientific notation look like on the calculator. Science teachers think math teachers should teach scientific notation and math teachers think it is "SCIENTIFIC" notation and science teachers should teach it. As a result, this skill often gets a mention in 8t
