It’s intuitive to think about squaring or doubling something. It’s just a number multiplied by itself.
In this episode of Study Hall: Algebra, James demystifies logarithms!
In this lesson, students will explore how many people the Earth is adding and losing each minute, and use this to build an exponential model for human population growth.
In this lesson students use exponential functions and logarithms to explore the risks of acetaminophen toxicity, and discuss what they think drug manufacturers should do to make sure people use their products safely.
This task is an opportunity for students to think about why the rules of exponents work, so they can use them with that understanding, rather than trying to remember rules.
Here’s a visual image of infinite possibility! Can you make connections between the visual and the equation?
