They're using scientific notation to help a merchant track his money, a dwarf with a tiny telescope study tiny things, and a gardener count three trillion trees. The concept gets built up from place value rather than dropped in as a trick, so when scientific notation shows up again in a future science class — Avogadro's number in chemistry, the speed of light in physics, the size of a cell in biology — your child will already understand the notation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This game had him literally begging to learn more math! … He had no prior experience with scientific notation, but the game captured his curiosity as it led him through how it works.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — STEM Education Researcher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e📥 Two versions of the game: Use on as many devices as you'd like within your household or classroom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💻 Offline version: download and play anytime, no internet needed.
