Math Logs 06 Square roots Mostly Years/Grade 10, 11 and 12 Academic Courses Logarithms

I created this still very early on in my journey of making videos. Please excuse that I was such a novice at this process and the technology involved.Show more

So many people struggle with Logarithms (Logs). This shows some simple ways of thinking that I use to help people understand and use logs. In Australia these are taught in the 10A course and the academic courses in year 11 and 12 – Methods and Specialist in Western Australia.

After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach. It still amazes me how I continue to still think of better ways of teaching mathematical concepts and I also continue to discover methods of explaining things that help students 'better' understand and become more successful at remembering the concepts.

A word of warning from what I have repeatedly seen over the years - most of my videos are placed in a logical or reasonably sequential order and if you watch the first or second video in a playlist and feel comfortable with the concepts, please go to the last video in the playlist to check if you really are okay. Each video in a playlist usually becomes progressively more complex and the 'latter' or 'last' video will often contain common assessment questions where students are known to make errors.

I also often include some revision / consolidation / mixture videos in the playlist which I know are crucial to assist with student success in assessments.

I hope that you find this very helpful and a blessing in your studies.
