Dates:
Logarithms
April 13 – April 17
What are we learning?
Daily Objective: SWBAT evaluate and graph logarithms. SWBAT re-write logarithmic
functions.
TEKS/AP/Standards: 2A, 4C, 11A, 11B, 11C.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
1. Warm Up - expand and condense logarithms.
2. Go over review for Test/work on problems from the review. Go over graphing logarithmic
functions and discuss domain, range, vertical asymptote, and transformations. Spend more
time evaluating logarithms and condensing and expanding expressions using the rules.
3. Exit Ticket – class discussion over logarithms.
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods: teacher will circulate to check answers as students work on problems.
Checks for Understanding: Teacher will check answers and circulate to answer questions.
What do I need to be successful?
Materials: spiral notes, textbook section 7.4 & 7.5, pencil, graphing calculator.
What do I need to do before next class?
Follow Up/HW: Study for Test over 7.4 & 7.5. (Major Grade)
What are we learning?
Daily Objective: SWBAT show mastery over evaluating and graphing logarithms. SWBAT
show mastery on re-writing logarithmic functions.
SWBAT solve exponential and logarithmic equations.
TEKS/AP/Standards: 2A, 4C, 11A, 11B, 11C.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
1. Warm Up – study 5 minutes over study guide.
2. Test 7.4 & 7.5
3. Begin section 7.6: Solve exponential and logarithmic equations.

How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
Wednesday: Juniors will be taking the SAT. The rest of the class will work on final exam
review.
Thursday:
1. Warm Up - re-write in exponential form and evaluate logarithms.
2. Notes – 7.6 Solve exponential and logarithmic equations. Go over the four types of
examples of solving exponential and logarithmic equations.
1. Exponential – get bases the same.
2. Exponential – take log of both sides.
3. logarithmic - where you cancel log on both sides.
4. logarithmic – where you do the circle formula.
3. Guided Practice – students practice problems with a partner.
4. Classwork – 7.6 Handout.
5. Exit Ticket – solve exponential and logarithmic equations.
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment methods: exit ticket.
Checks for Understanding: Teacher will check by facilitating and making sure students are
understanding.
