Card Sort: Standard and Scientific

Students match numbers written in standard form with the equivalent value in scientific notation. Additional "imposters" include cards not properly using scientific notation. Follow up slides allow students to justify matches and identify imposters that are equivalent to correctly represented value. Students are notified when they have sorted correctly. (CL coding idea courtesy of David Petros) Allow successful students to act as "advisors" to others until most of the class has correctly completed the task.
