Logarithms and Exponents Teacher Resources

Sal gets to the heart of the matter in this video, clarifying that it's important to understand math "so you can actually apply it in life later on and not have relearn everything every time." True to his word, Sal demonstrates ways to...

Sal crafts a demonstration around one of his "most misspelled words" - logarithms - in this thorough and understandable video. He defines a logarithm before using several examples to illustrate his point. Sal makes learning this concept...

This video proves the helpful change of base formula for logarithms. The proof steps may need to be more intuitive to most logarithm learners, but the algebraic manipulation shown using logs is interesting.

This video shows how to convert an equation in exponential form to logarithmic form. The example shown uses base e, and it is converted to an equation using a natural logarithm.

This video shows how to convert an equation in natural logarithmic form to exponential form in base e. The instructor reviews the definition of logarithms before completing an example.

Wow! Here is a handout packed full of tips and worked-out solutions to supplement instruction on fractional exponents. The instructional activity introduces and thoroughly explains the Algebra II concept, and closes with a variety of...

In this algebra worksheet, learners convert equations from logarithmic form to exponential form and do the reverse conversion. There are ten questions.

Learners explore the characteristics of logarithmic functions and their relationship to exponential functions. Using the subscriber website Explorelearning.com, pupils observe changes in the input variable and its effect on the graph of...

In this exponential and logarithmic functions activity, students solve twety-two short answer multi-part problems. Students simplify logarithms using logarithm properties, solve logarithmic and exponential equations, and solve word...

Rumor has it that an exponential can be undone. After playing a rumor game to model exponential growth, pupils learn about undoing exponential functions. They use the definition of the logarithm to convert exponential equations to...

Won't the other properties be sad to learn that they're not the most important? The 11th installment of a 35-part module is essentially a continuation of the previous lesson, using logarithm tables to develop properties. Scholars...

An inverse relationship exists between exponents and logarithms, allowing mathematicians to easily convert one to the other. Scholars apply a brief definition of logarithms with a few practice problems. Then, they discover the...

Converting between logarithmic form and exponential form is an important skill in solving problems involving exponents. This video shows how to convert an equation in logarithmic form to exponential form. The instructor reviews the...
