      Scientific notation is basically reducing numbers to make them “writeable”–making a shorthand version of the number. It’s worth pointing out that students use something similar to scientific notation everyday through texting. LOL, ttyl, omg, lmao etc. All shorthand text of words

      This teacher’s article ellaborates on this: http://nathankraft.blogspot.com/2012/10/texting-algebraic-expressions.html
