Standard Alignments:
Missouri State Standards incorporated into this project:
Numbers and Operations
1. Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers and number systems
C. Apply properties of operations
apply properties of logarithms to simplify expressions or solve equations
Algebraic Relationships
1. Understand patterns, relations and functions
C. Classify objects and representations:
compare and contrast various forms of representations of patterns
2. Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols
A. Represent mathematical situations:
use symbolic algebra to represent and solve problems that involve exponential and logarithmic relationships…
C. Utilize equivalent forms:
use and solve equivalent forms of equations and inequalities (exponential, logarithmic and rational)
3. Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships
A. Use mathematical models:
identify quantitative relationships and determine the type(s) of functions that might model the situation to solve the problem
