Instructional Ideas
- Use practice problems for guided instruction; as your class becomes more comfortable with logarithmic properties, progress to independent practice
- Consider using board work with the practice problems to help determine understanding and misconceptions
Classroom Considerations
- Does not provide practice with properties before solving equations; may need to be supplemented
Pros
- Provides an answer key with the practice problems
- "Think" statements are helpful in determining how to present the material
Cons
- Requires supplemental problems if properties are to be practiced before solving equations
