Ask students to consider the three numbers and compare each pair.
3.2 × 103 8.7 × 103 2.4 × 104
When comparing two numbers written in scientific notation, should students compare the coefficient or the power of 10 first? the power of 10
Which pair of numbers have the same power of 10?
3.2 × 103 and 8.7 × 103
When the power of 10 is the same, how do you compare the numbers? by comparing the coefficient

When the power of 10 is different, do you need to compare the coefficient?no
Have students write their own set of rules to describe how to compare two numbers written in scientific notation.
Ask students to consider the three numbers and compare each pair.
