  1. Advanced Functions MHF4U Logarithm Laws and Exponent Laws By: Greg Leverton and Girthiga Gunarajah

  2. Goals and Expectations • By the end of the lesson students will be able to • Laws of exponents and laws of logarithm • How are laws of exponents are related to the laws of logarithms • How to use the laws to simplify expressions • Prior Knowledge • What exponents are and how to solve them • What logarithms are and how to solve them • What the graphs of exponential and logarithmic functions look like • The laws of exponents

  3. Agenda • Review • Activity 1 • Energizer • Activity 2 • Wrap-up

  4. Bell Work • Write down the laws of exponents that was previously learned • Product • Quotient • Exponent

  5. Minds-On • Logarithm Applet • Students will work on slide 3

  6. Teaching Plan - Overview • Activity 1 • Investigating the Laws of Logarithms • Energizer • Zip, Zap, Zop • Activity 2 • Find the Connection

  7. Activity 1 – Investigating the Laws • The purpose of this activity is to introduce the laws they know for exponents (product, quotient and exponent) to logarithms • Using the Logarithms Applet students will investigate the three logarithm laws • Within their table groups they will discuss the laws and write down the laws into their math notebooks • Quick Consolidation: One member from the table group will come up and write down the law requested

  8. Energizer • Zip, Zap, Zop • A quick break between the two activities that will “wake up” the students • Refer to lesson plan for complete instructions

  9. Activity 2 – Find the Connection The purpose of this activity is for students to understand the relationship between the previously learned exponent laws and the logarithm laws Using the worksheet, as a table group, students will work through the worksheet trying to derive the exponent law from the logarithm law they just discovered

  10. Consolidation • Students will come up to the SmartBoard and write out the steps for the derivations they just completed for the product and quotient law • Pose the question, so what is the connection between the exponent laws and the logarithm laws? • Ticket out the door • Write down at least one law that you learned today? • What questions do you still have?

  11. Optional Home Activity • Challenge Problem • Derive the power law for exponents from the power law for logarithms • Hint: Refer back to Activity 2 – Worksheet

  12. Questions?
