Description
Welcome! This listing features two, full-page activities that will help students gear up for honoring the rules of significant figures of mathematical operations for the duration of their year in physical science, chemistry, or physics. These activities are available separately in my store at a twenty-percent higher cost.
The Significant Figures Essentials Worksheet has three sections.
-
The first section includes a header containing an overview of rules that govern which digits are significant along with several examples. Students then identify how many significant figures are in each presented number.
-
The second section contains an overview of the multiplication/division rule in the header, followed by ten multiplication/division problems.
-
The third section features the addition/subtraction rule in the header, followed by twelve accompanying problems.
The How to Round Numbers to Honor Sig Figs Worksheet showcases and offers practice to help students learn how to round their answers to achieve a value with the targeted number of significant figures. In this activity, students learn how to perform the following tasks.
-
Round whole numbers
-
Round decimals
-
Round numbers in scientific notation
-
Avoid common student errors pertaining to rounding
This listing also includes a two-page key for each worksheet with the answers in red font. Both documents will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Program. You will be hard-pressed to find a user-friendly worksheet covering the topic of rounding and significant figures with a more detailed analysis!
