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 plan, using logarithm tables to develop properties. Scholars...

Log the resource on logarithms for future use. Learners review and explore properties of logarithms and solve base 10 exponential equations in the 12th installment of a 35-part module. An emphasis on theoretical definitions and...

Learners investigate properties of logarithmic function as they add, subtract and multiply logarithms. They graph and analyze the graph for exponential equivalency.

Transform your lesson 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 examine...

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students graph logarithms on their Ti-Nspire calculator.  Students describe the shapes of their graphs by identifying slope, y-intercepts, and roots. ...

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...

Pupils solve exponential functions. For this algebra lesson, students identify the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions. They graph their functions and solve using change of base formula.

I can't calculate a base-2 logarithm since my calculator doesn't have a base-2 log key. Young mathematicians use the change of base formula to extend the properties of logarithms to all bases. Among these bases is the natural log base,...

Show your class how people calculated complex math problems in the old days. Scholars take a trip back to the days without calculators in the 15th installment of a 35-part module. They use logarithms to determine products of numbers and...

Study logarithmic properties using a triangle. A clever manipulative shows how a triangle can represent the three parts of a logarithmic or exponential equation. Pupils review the concept and then answer guiding questions to further...

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...

Thank goodness we have calculators to compute logarithms. Pupils use calculators to create logarithmic tables to estimate values and use these tables to discover patterns (properties). The second half of the lesson has scholars use given...

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...

Viruses can spread like wildfire, and mathematics can model the speed of infection. Given a function, scholars analyze it to describe the spread of a disease within a stadium. Learners find the initial number infected and the maximum...

Eleventh graders investigate logarithms.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders explore the properties of logarithms that are used to simplify expression and solve equations.  Students confirm their conjectures regarding the...

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...

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

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...
