This is a GeoGebra applet that explores the relationship between a logarithmic function and an exponential function. This is important because logarithmic function are often introduced in the context of exponential functions.

This GeoGebra applet helps student visualize what it means to have a different base on a logarithmic function. It also introduces the property of logarithms that the log_b(b)=1.

This is a comic that jokes about the original application of logarithms and how this is an unmotivating application now days.

Activity plan modified from a lesson found on National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that guides students through discovery of some logarithmic properties using rulers. The worksheet for this activity can be found here

Activity plan modified from the lesson found on the link below.

Lesson plan from the a book entitled Learn from the Masters!, edited by Fank Swetz, that helps students see the original purpose of logarithms. I reference this lesson plan on the Explanation of Mathematics page

Original activity plan that guides students through a core objective meant to help relate a logarithmic function to the exponential function.
