LESSON PLAN IN GENERAL MATHEMATICS

I. Learning Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, should be able to:

1. graph logarithmic functions
2. evaluate logarithmic expressions.
3. relate logarithmic functions to real life situations.

II. Learning Content/ Subject Matter

A. References: General Mathematics by Oronce

B. Materials : graphing board, manila paper
C. Strategies: Cooperative Learning

III. Learning Activities/ Procedures:

A. Preliminary Activity
Ask the students to find for the unknown of the following :

1. log(5) 125=x 2.log(3) x=4 3. log(2) (x+4)=5

B. Review
Through this graph review domain and range by asking the questions below

1.Which one of these graphs represents exponential decay? Why?

2. What is the domain? Range? How did you get that?

C. Lesson Proper

1. Motivation
Let the students examine the graph and determine the equation.
 2. Presentation

Guide the students arrive the answer of the activity in the motivation by letting them do the
`exercises below.

Express x = 10 y in logarithmic expression and vice versa. Construct a table of values of the
exponential function.

3. Discussion

The teacher will discuss to the students how to graph the following logarithmic functions by
finding the range ,domain and the intercepts.

1. log(5) 125=x 2. log(3) x=4 3.log(2) (x+4)=5

4. Developmental Activities

Let the students solve the problem and graph.

Suppose that you purchased a new car for 8000 in 1991. If the value of the car decreases by
10% each year to 90% of its previous value what is the car worth today?

5. Synthesis / Generalization

Guide the students to enumerate the steps in graphing logarithmic functions. Let them relate
logarithmic functions in real life situations.

IV. Evaluation

Solve and Graph.

1. In 1990, you bought a television for $600. Each year, for 10 years, the value, v, of the television
decreases by 8%. Write an exponential model that describes this situation.

2. a.) Sketch the graph of f ( x) 3x

b.) On the same set of axes, sketch the graph of the inverse (the reflection in the line y = x) of the
graph drawn in part (a). Label the graph with the new equation.

V. Remedial/ Enrichment

I. Directions: Rewrite each equation in exponential form.

1. 2 = log3 6 2. 25 = log x 3. 32 = log y

 II. Solve for x and sketch the graph.

1. log2 x log2 x 4 5 2. 2log3 x log3 x 4 2

VI. Assignment

Solve each problem.

1. A basketball is dropped from a height of 9 feet. Each time it bounces, it returns to a height of 65%
of its previous height. The height h may be determined by the formula h = 9(.65)n where n is the
number of bounces. Find the number of bounces it will take for the ball to reach a height of no
more than 1.5 feet.
