Logarithmic Functions Unit Plan

Discovery Based Learning

1. Algebra 2: Properties of Logarithms (Nspired Learning Math Classroom)

This lesson is based on observing counter-examples to logarithmic rules and involves comparing the values of several base 2 logarithmic expressions to discover which produce the same result. As a result, students will:

• Generalize these rules for base a, where a is a real number, a > 0 and a ≠ 1.
• Compare these logarithmic properties to their exponential counterparts.

3.  James Tanton -- Assessment Thoughts

I think this could be used either as a prompt for Discovery or a Assessment for Learning Piece.
