About this worksheet

Logarithms: exponential and log form, values, and change of base. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can switch between 2⁵ = 32 and log₂ 32 = 5, and find a log by counting the arrows of a growth table.
  • I can find logs of numbers below 1, say which two whole numbers a log is between, and use ln for base e.
  • I can find any log on a calculator with log y ÷ log b, to the place asked.

Standard: F-BF.B.5 (+), F-LE.A.4

Words to know

logarithm: log_b y: the power of b that gives y; the row of the × b table.

base: The number multiplied on every arrow: the 2 in log₂ 32.

common log: log y with no base written: base 10.

natural log: ln y: the log with base e.

e: A number near 2.718, used as a base for growth.

change of base: log_b y = log y ÷ log b, for a calculator.

row: The step number in the growth table; row 0 holds 1.

Common mistakes

Divided the two numbers (32 ÷ 2) instead of counting how many times the base multiplies.

Counted the starting 1 as a step, so the answer came out one too big. Write 1, 2, 4, 8 and count the arrows between them together.

Mixed up the small base number and the big number inside the log. Read log₂ 8 aloud together as "2 to what power is 8?"

What to say

Ask: starting at 1, how many times do you multiply by 2 to reach 32?
