Each card in this set of sorting cards shows a conversion between a very big (or very small) number and its equivalent in standard form. However, quite a few of the conversions are incorrect. The students need to sort the cards into which are correct and incorrect. Then they need to correct the standard form conversions.
They could also order the numbers from smallest to biggest or find further uses for standard form to write very big or very small numbers. Students could also make up several questions and make deliberate errors for their classmates to find.

Hi Sarah, I couldn’t download your cards. Are you on teachers pay teachers? I am also at an IB MYP and love the idea of a sort to match sci not with std form. The google doc just isnt coming up.
Hello Sara, I checked the permissions and you should be able to download the cards. After the document opens, look for the download arrow as the first icon on the left. I have not heard of Teachers Pay Teachers before now. I just like sharing for free!
