Significant Figures Set - ME-9850

The series of activities included in the Significant Figures Set emphasizes the connection between measurements and significant figures. Students work through a number of situations in which they experience the concepts of accuracy and precision. Through these activities,  students learn the importance of the measuring tool and its role in the uncertainty of measurements. For each activity, student groups are asked to place their measurements and/or calculations along a demonstration number line. The groups can then share their results with the entire class during discussions and presentations.

The Number Line and Data Pointers are laminated for use with dry erase markers.
