Re: "Proper" scientific notation



In reply to David Simmons:

Heck No. Stick to your guns. Ask them questions that test whether they
understand exponent form at all, no matter how expressed, e.g.:

2E7 is how many times bigger than 2E5?

2E7 is HOW MUCH bigger than 2E6 (That is, what is the difference)?
