S TO S SHUFFLE

scientific notation · converting between standard and scientific notation

To convert between standard and scientific notation [8.EE.A.3].

S TO S SHUFFLE is a Grade 8 scientific-notation puzzle where students match equivalent standard and scientific forms along the edges of 16 squares. The pieces must be arranged into a 4-by-4 grid so adjacent values represent the same number, then students convert the unmatched values around the outside edge. The puzzle format makes every conversion part of a larger structure.

Use it for partner or small-group review when students are moving between standard and scientific notation. Incorrect conversions prevent the pieces from fitting mathematically, giving students a built-in reason to recheck their work.
