Logarithms Practice Worksheet

This document provides practice problems for students to understand logarithms. It contains examples of using number lines to determine the position of numbers in systems that count by multiplication (i.e. times 3, times 10, times 4, etc.). Students are asked to find the logarithm of various numbers without a calculator. The document encourages students to discuss with their partner how exponents and logarithms are related based on the concept of a system that counts by multiplication.

Remember my favorite, fast-talking mathematician?

If we are counting in a times 3 sort of way, how many steps does it take us to get to 81?
_______
Practice Use the number lines to answer the following questions.
1. In a system that counts in a times 3 sort of way, 27 is _______.

x
3

0 1

27

x
3

2
This can be written as

.
log 3 27=

2. In a system that counts in a times 10 sort of way, 1000 is _______.

This can be written as

.
log 1000=

3. In a system that counts in a times 4 sort of way, 64 is ________.

This can be written as

.
log 4 64 =

4. In a system that counts in a times 2 sort of way, 256 is ________.

This can be written as

.
log 2 256=

Practice Without a calculator, find the following logarithms. (I know, Im the worst)
1.

log 7 1=

2.

log 4 64=

4.

log 5 125=

5.

log 3 81=

3.

log 2 32=

6.

log 1 /7

=
343

Lets look at what 3 is in a system that counts by times 9

0

This can be written as

.
log 9 3=

Talk to your partner end explain why this makes sense using what you know about
exponents, systems that count by multiplication, and now logarithms. If you have no
idea, you need to make an educated decision and have something here

Now, lets look at what
