Theme Logarithm of numbers

Subtopic: Logarithm of Numbers less than 1

Topic. Revision of logarithm of numbers

Date. 12/09/2023

Class. S S2

Duration. 40Minutes

Time. 8:00-9:20 am

Specific Objectives: By the end of the lesson students should be able to:
 Students will review the concept of logarithms for numbers greater than one.
 Students will understand the characteristics of logarithms for numbers greater than one
and less than one, and learn to express numbers in standard logarithmic form.
 Students will learn how to manipulate logarithms for numbers less than one through
multiplication.
 Students will be able to solve simple logarithmic equations.
 Students will evaluate and compare the accuracy of results obtained from logarithm
tables and calculators.

Instructional Materials:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Calculators
 Logarithm tables
 Student notebooks
 Worksheets with logarithmic problems
 Examples of logarithmic equations

Step I: Identification of prior idea


Mode: Individual

 Teacher Activities: Begin the lesson by asking students what they know
about exponents and exponentials.
 Encourage students to recall any prior knowledge related to exponential
growth or decay.

Students Activity: Students participate in a class discussion and share their


knowledge and experiences with exponents and exponentials.

Step 2: Exploration (15 minutes)


Mode: Individuals
Teacher Activity:
 Introduce the concept of logarithms as the inverse operation of exponentials.
 Define logarithms and explain that they are used to solve for the unknown
exponent in exponential equations.
 Provide examples of exponential equations and demonstrate how logarithms
can be used to solve for the unknown.
 Present the basic logarithmic properties (e.g., log(a * b) = log(a) + log(b)).
Examples: 100,000 as 10^5, 10,000 as 10^4, 1000 as 10^3 .......1 as 10^0 and also 0.1 =10^-1
Example: 0.01 = 100^-1, = 10^-2. 0.00001 as 10^-5

A number in the form M*10^n where m is the number between 1 and 10, and n is a
positive or negative integer is said to be in standard form eg 4.758*10^3,
2.1750*10^4

Student Activity:
 Take notes during the teacher's explanation.
 Ask questions for clarification.

Step 3: Discussion (10 minutes)

Mode: Whole Class

Teacher's Activity: Engage students in a discussion about real-life situations


where logarithms are useful, such as:
Calculating interest rates in finance.

The logarithm of a number of a given base is therefore the index to which the base
must be raised to obtain the given number (N) eg. LogN = a means x^a = N

Using base 10, we can compare the powers of ten with their logarithm as shown in
the table below

Base Index Notation Number Log Notation

10 0 10^0 1 Log10^1 0

10 1 10^1 10 Log10^10 1

Tables are used to find the logarithms of numbers and the logarithms of a number
is in two-part, integers and fraction Log34.25 = 2.5735

/ \

Integers "character" Decimal fraction " mantissa"

Student Activity:
 Participate in the discussion by sharing their thoughts on how logarithms can
be applied in real life.
 Ask questions and seek clarification if needed.

Step 4: Application (15 minutes)


Mode: Whole class

Teacher Activity:
 Provide students with worksheets containing logarithmic problems of
varying difficulty.
 Encourage them to work individually or in pairs to solve the problems.
 Walk around the classroom to offer assistance and guidance as needed.
 Characteristics of numbers greater and less than 1
