Activity Overview
In this activity, students will compare logarithmic properties to their exponential counterparts.
Objectives
Students will state and apply the properties of logarithms:
- loga(m*n) = loga(m) + loga(n)
- loga(m/n) = loga(m) - loga(n)
- loga(mn) = n*loga(m)
Vocabulary
- Logarithmic expressions
- Equivalent expressions
- Exponential properties
About the Lesson
Students will be using Lists and Spreadsheets/Data and Statistics pages on the TI-Nspire CX II to make comparisons between the properties of exponents and the properties of logarithms.
