Students explain the different log laws and demonstrate their meaning by designing an interactive simulation.
- Create a 4- to 6-page paper (not including the title and references pages) in a Word document for your response. Use APA format for the paper and in-text citations.
- Create a title page and references page in APA format.
- Develop an introduction and conclusion for your paper.
- Follow the step directions to complete the assignment.
Step 1. Investigate
Use several sources to investigate the history of logarithmic equations and laws of logarithms. Make note of the dates, events, and relevance to the time period. Display the key events in a format of your choice.
Step 2. Choose and Justify
Select a video or other resource for demonstrating logarithms and the laws of logarithms to recommend to classmates. Provide the title, a brief summary, a rationale for selection, and the link.
Step 3. Explain and Design
Explain what a logarithm is and the laws of logarithms by designing an interactive simulation. Submit your simulation or a link to your simulation.
Step 4. Reflect
Reflect on how mathematical laws, such as the laws of logarithms, govern the problem-solving process. Why should we know the laws of logarithms?
