Students will solve exponential function problems, graph exponential functions, find the value of logarithms, determine future value, and compound interest. For this Pre-calculus lesson, students will use the properties of logs to solve...

Back to the basics: learning how to add numbers. The 17th installment of a 35-part module first reviews addition techniques for rational numbers, such as graphical methods (number line) and numerical methods (standard algorithm). It goes...

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,...

Ready to apply the concepts related to the natural exponential equations and logarithmic equations? A math lesson reviews concepts from inverse properties to solving to derivatives and integrals. 

Scholars shake their way to understanding half-life with the help of candy. They observe and record which side candy lands on to graph the exponential decay in the fifth instructional activity of seven integrating chemistry and algebra....

In this algebra worksheet, students define inverse functions and solve for the inverse of logarithmic equations. There are 20 logs and graphing questions with an answer key.

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

For this worksheet, students convert exponential expressions into an equivalent logarithm and visa versa. They find the exact value of logarithmic expressions and determine the domain of a given function. Finally, students use...

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Let's see what the class learned! The last installment of the 23-part Pre-calculus module consists of nine assessment questions designed to measure a specific portion of a standard in the unit. Learners demonstrate their understanding of...

Young scientists use exponential growth and logarithms to model how a virus spreads through a population. Pupils watch a news clip about the 2012 outbreak of Ebola. Scholars then manipulate inactive graphs to see how various factors...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

They say it runs in the family. Small groups use a card sorting activity to group graphs of functions into families. After grouping by families, the class develops conclusions for parent functions and create a graphic organizer.

Where did the pH scale come from? Take a deeper look at a most important measure of ion concentration using a simulated physical determination. Young chemists prepare a series of dilutions after determining a dilution factor for the...

It's time for a family reunion—function families, that is. Pupils first review different types of parent functions. They then see how to apply transformations to graphs and learn how to select the most appropriate type of function to...

Learners explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Learners make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Young scholars investigate exponential and logarithmic functions.  In this Pre-calculus/Calculus lesson, students investigate the relationship between y = ln(x) and y = e^x.  Young scholars graph the functions and show they are...

Full of info, this handout provides the rules, properties, and common mistakes found in an algebra course. This cheat sheet is a great resource for those hard-to-remember exponent rules and hyperbola equations, along with everything else...

In this Pre-calculus worksheet, students solve advanced logarithmic and exponential equations. The seven page worksheet contains thirty-two problems. Answers are not provided.

In this mathematics activity, students solve problems pertaining to high school mathematics. Problems include topics such as finding the sine, cosine and tangent. They graph functions, work with statistics, solve measurement problems,...

Explore how real-world applications can be parabolic in nature and how to find quadratic functions that best fit data. A number of different examples of modeling parabolas are explored including a student scavenger hunt, the exploration...

In this limits worksheet, students evaluate five limits using limit definitions. They solve differential equations by isolating one variable. Students determine the dimensions of a rectangle inscribed below the graph of a curve.

Which function models the data best? Pupils work through several activities to model data with a variety of functions. Individuals begin by reviewing the shapes of the functions and finding functions that will fit plotted data points. By...

Ready to share the beauty of the inverse function with your classes? This algebra II lesson guides the discovery of an inverse function through a numerical, graphical, and an algebraic approach. Connections are made between the three,...
