Next blog post assignment

There are two parts to this assignment – a post AND a comment:

The post:    

Pretend you’re explaining what logarithms are to someone who’s never heard of them. Make sure that after your explanation, they’d be able to:

• Figure out, without a calculator, these types of examples:
  1. log₅125
  2. log₂(1/16)
  3. log₄₉7
• Know when it’s absolutely necessary to use the log/ln buttons on their calculator, and how to use them.

Your post needs to have:

• at least one type of media inserted or embedded, such as an image, slides, a geogebra, a video, a voki, or a voicethread. I’ll help you with the tech part, but you have to do the math part!
• proper notation, eg actual subscript for the base. I do NOT want to see “log base 2 of 8”.
• your voice, your thought, evidence that you actually understand logarithms

Never heard of a voki? Here’s one:
