About this worksheet

Properties of logarithms: product, quotient and power, expanding and condensing. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can say why multiplying inside a log adds the logs, dividing subtracts them, and a power multiplies the log.
  • I can expand a log of a product, quotient or power, and keep the log of a sum whole.
  • I can write a sum of logs with numbers in front as one log, and find a log from given values.

Standard: no CCSS standard names them (F-BF.B.5 (+) is nearest)

Words to know

product rule: log (MN) = log M + log N: multiplying results adds rows.

quotient rule: log (M/N) = log M − log N: dividing results subtracts rows.

power rule: log (Mⁿ) = n log M: a power multiplies the row.

expand: Write one log of a product, quotient or power as several logs.

condense: Write several logs with one base as one log.

row: The step number in the growth table; for a result, its log.

Common mistakes

Multiplied two logs where they should be added. Write 4 × 8 = 32 as 2² × 2³ = 2⁵ together and see the powers add.

Divided two logs where they should be subtracted. Write 32 ÷ 4 as 2⁵ ÷ 2² = 2³ together and see the powers subtract.

Subtracted the logs in the wrong order.

What to say

Ask: which number is on top of the fraction? Its log comes first.
