1.36 Non-Calculator Standard Form Operations IGCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 33-slide lesson, pupils will learn how to perform calculations involving excessively large or small powers of 10 in standard form — the kind that cannot be handled directly on a calculator. Pupils will apply the laws of indices to simplify expressions and factor out larger powers of 10 to make calculations manageable. These skills are particularly important for tackling the more challenging standard form problems frequently seen on IGCSE exams.

The lesson includes:

• Clear, guided examples

• Discussion opportunities from Think, Pair, Share

• Mini whiteboard section to check understanding and clarify misconceptions

• Two structured tasks to practise key skills

• Challenge activity to extend and deepen learning

Perfect for engaging learners while reinforcing essential numeracy concepts.
