Mairead's Reflection:
I was happy with how this activity went over all - it took two class days and I think this was good - I didn't rush them through any of it but I did send them home to work on the ln part and then we checked it at the beginning of the next class. I went through the rules with them and showed them how to check one or two but I did not give them too much time for the checking in class. They then spent the second day working on the last part. Again they got a little frustrated with the definition of log and why we were doing it this way - and I pointed out that we needed them to understand how log was defined but then we would be allowing them to use their calculators to do all log/ln calculations.
