Graphing Logarithmic Functions Teacher Resources

Graphing by hand does have its advantages. The 19th installment of a 35-part module prompts pupils to use skills from previous lessons to graph exponential and logarithmic functions. They reflect each function type over a diagonal line...

Explore logarithmic functions, and have pupils solve 10 different problems that include various logarithmic functions. First, they find the domain of a given function and then the range. They also consider a graph that has a limited...

Teach collaboration and communication skills in addition to graphing logarithmic functions. Scholars in different groups graph different logarithmic functions by hand using provided coordinate points. These graphs provide the basis for...

Build a solid understanding of logarithmic functions and equations. Five lessons in the module begin by developing the concept of a logarithm. The next lessons address graphing logarithmic functions, logarithmic properties, and solving...

A six-day unit for algebra II on exponential and logarithmic functions builds upon Chapter 12 of Merrill Algebra II with Trigonometry; Applications and Connections. The text provides assistance in the depth of instruction and homework...

If two is company and three's a crowd, then what's e? Scholars observe how changes in the base affect the graph of a logarithmic function. They then graph the natural logarithm function and learn that all logarithmic functions can be...

For this exponential and logarithmic worksheet, students examine functions containing exponents and logarithms.  They identify the domain, range, asymptotes and graph the function.  This five-page worksheet contains 5 problems.

High schoolers grow their skills exponentially after completing this thorough worksheet. Going from simple to difficult, it hits all the major skills regarding exponential and logarithmic functions including simplifying, solving,...

For this graphing worksheet, students solve and complete 13 various types of problems. First, they find the domain and graph writing the answer in inequality notation. Then, students describe the transformation shown and graph the...

In this graphing worksheet, students graph exponential and logarithmic functions. A coordinate plane is provided for each problem. Eighteen problems are on this two-page worksheet.

In this algebra learning exercise, students solve logarithmic functions. They graph their solution using log properties. There are 6 questions.

Practice graphing with this worksheet. High schoolers solve logarithms and graph the solution. This one-page worksheet contains eight problems, varying in complexity.

Transform your lesson plan on transformations. Scholars investigate transformations, with particular emphasis on translations and dilations of the graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions. As part of this investigation, they...

The Function That Shall Not Be Named? The eighth installment of a 35-part module uses a WhatPower function to introduce scholars to the concept of a logarithmic function without actually naming the function. Once pupils are comfortable...

An Algebra II activity draws the connection between the exponential function and its inverse. By graphing an exponential function and using tables and a calculator, students graph the logarithmic function. The plan comes with a launch,...

You can't build a fire with these logs! Filled with hands-on investigations, a complete logarithmic unit offers both instruction and practice. Learners first build an understanding of the new function, then explore properties before...

Do you know what your graph is supposed to look like based on the equation? Knowing a parent function and its associated graph makes problem solving easier when transformations are included. Each function has two problems that...

One of the beauties of mathematics is the ability to take words and turn them into symbols. The lesson uses a graph to tell a story, and translates a description of water changing temperatures into a graph. The instructor then reviews...

How many ways can you graph a quadratic? The video shows two approaches to graphing a quadratic expression that is initially in standard form. The first method finds the vertex using -b/2a. The second approach is to find (h,k). 

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part lesson encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The lesson considers all types of functions, not just exponential and...

Investigate non-linear functions based upon the characteristics of the function or the representation of the function. The functions are displayed in multiple formats including as graphs, symbols, words, and tables. Learners use written...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Your knowledge of graphs is a function of how much you try. Young mathematicians work on a set of 12 questions that covers graphing functions, comparing functions, and rewriting functions in different forms to determine key features....

You don't want to risk breaking the Laws of Logarithms! The video instructor explains the steps to using laws to condense a logarithmic expression and evaluate the result. The lesson is a continuation of videos in a series of 29.
