• Note that the lesson only considers common (base 10) logarithms; consideration of other bases shows up later in the module

Pros

• Teacher resource includes timing suggestions for each part of the lesson to keep pupils engaged and on task
• Highlighting mathematical practices in lesson notes allows instructors to keep an eye out for pupils exhibiting these practices

Cons

• None
