I'm assuming you have some idea what scientific notation is, hence, i shall not completely explain it, but in a nut shell its;
the number is always under 10. Never more than 9.
It always ends with 10^..... ( ten to the power of "....")
It it's positive, the decimal point moves to the right. if it's negative, it moves to the left.
thats it in a very small nutshell.

Scientific notation is not a problem that needs to be "solved".
20,000 + 3,400,000
Standard notation (in the UK) is the same as scientific notation. So the one rule to use is DO NOTHING!
The steps, in order, will depend on what you wish to do: convert from normal to scientific notation, the converse, perform one of the basic operations of arithmetic on numbers in scientific notation.
I don't know what you mean "how to write the rules." In the US, "standard" notation means "long form", i.e. 6,000,000, while "scientific" notation means the exponential form, 6x106. I had thought it was the same in the UK, but Mehtamatics says otherwise: "Standard notation and scientific notation are the same in terms of UK usage of these phrases."
