Multiply and Divide with Scientific Notation: Create a Snowman

Enjoy a winter-themed math adventure with Multiply and Divide with Scientific Notation: Create a Snowman! This playsheet turns scientific-notation practice into a fun, build-as-you-go activity. Each correct solution earns you a snowman piece — a hat, buttons, scarf, or even the carrot nose — until your snowman is complete!

You’ll begin by reviewing how scientific notation expresses numbers in the form a×10na \times 10^na×10n. This helpful format makes it easy to multiply and divide extremely large or tiny numbers without dealing with long strings of digits. Understanding how coefficients and powers of ten work together prepares you for each challenge ahead.

Next, you’ll apply exponent rules as you multiply and divide values. You’ll practice multiplying coefficients, adding exponents, and rewriting results in proper scientific notation. For division, you’ll divide the coefficients and subtract exponents to simplify expressions efficiently. Each correct answer unlocks another snowman part to “build” on your activity sheet.
