1.) Students will write the populations of the states in scientific notation, and order them from greatest to smallest 
2.) Students will write very small decimal numbers in scientific notation 
3.) Students will rewrite scientific numbers to standard form 
4.) Students will determine the decimal equivalents for all the wrenches in a normal tool set as advertised at Sears. 
5.) Students will calculate how much they would have to repay if they borrow $5000 for 3 years at 9.5% simple interest. 
6.) Students will select ten items to add to their wardrobe, determine the savings and the final price for a 30% discount, and then a 40% discount.
