First Week Lesson Note For First Term SS2
First Week Lesson Note For First Term SS2
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:
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.
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.
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
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

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.
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.
