Students solve problems involving exponential, logarithmic, and scientific notations. Using calculators, students explore investment problems. They use a formula and logarithms to determine the years to earn a particular income, figure...

In this chemistry practice activity, students select the correct response to the given questions. Students apply knowledge about the states of matter, finding vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure.

It's scary how fast bacteria can grow — exponentially. Class members solve exponential equations, including those modeling bacteria and population growth. Lesson emphasizes numerical approaches rather than graphical or algebraic.

Viruses can spread like wildfire, and mathematics can model the speed of infection. Given a function, scholars analyze it to describe the spread of a disease within a stadium. Learners find the initial number infected and the maximum...

Your young gossipers write an exponential function for the number of people who have heard a rumor after a number of days have passed. Learners then answer a series of questions, including whether or not the solutions are realistic by...

Students use optimization concepts to design their own container. In this optimization lesson plan, students understand how the optimization concept is critical in calculus and why products are packaged the way they are.

Scholars view the video, "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land," and discuss examples in nature which have proportions of the golden ratio. They measure and record different body lengths from a worksheet and convert the ratios to equivalent...

Exponential growth is modeled by learners as they analyze and interpret the data presented in this real-life scenario centered on the destructive invasion of the Giant African Land Snail. Learners get a touch of history and practice...

Use a resource on which you can base your lesson plan on base 10 and scientific notation. The second installment of a 35-part module presents scholars with a review of scientific notation. After getting comfortable with...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Not all linear functions are linear transformations — show your class the difference. The first lesson in a unit on linear transformations and complex numbers that spans 32 segments introduces the concept of linear transformations and...

Let there be light. The last installment of a seven-part series has pupils conduct an experiment on light attenuation through different numbers of transparency sheets. They then relate the results back to how X-rays measure bone density.

Can you visualize one billionth of a meter? It's not easy to understand the scale of a nanometer. Learners use a hands-on lesson to develop an understanding of the size of a nanometer in comparison to common objects. They walk away with...

In this precalc lesson, learners write out definitions, identify functions, solve integrals and derivatives and graph trig functions as they relate to angles. This is a final exam for precalculus. There are 80 questions on this exam.

For this pH worksheet, students are given information and directions as to how to calculate the pH of solutions. They use their calculators to find the pH of given solutions and apply what they learned about identifying acids and bases.

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and...

Fourth graders discover that the inverse of squaring is finding a square root. and that square roots are found in many formulas used in many disciplines. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan that gives them quite a bit of...

For this math worksheet, students find the answers to the functions that includes integration and trigonometry. They use the examples for help with the special functions.

In this math worksheet, students practice reading the examples of integrating special functions. The examples have the formulas included.

Tenth graders define pH and use it to interpret amounts of hydrogen ions in a solution.  In this hydrogen lesson students read about acid rain, divide into groups and present their information to the class. 

Students design a new classroom workplace. In this architecture lesson, students use area formulas to identify the problem with the existing desks in their classroom. Students design their own solution volume formulas to solve the...

Students determine the size of the population at a given time. They calculate the time at which the population will be a given number. They observe how the population grows at the rate that is directly proportional to the number of...

Provides an explanation, examples, and a video lesson all related to the logarithm property.

Exceptional page explaining almost anything you might want to know about logarithms.
