Exponents show how many times we multiply, while logarithms show how many multiplications it takes. See the two curves mirror each other across y=x, then explore a log ruler that fits 1 and 1,000,000 on one screen.
About this app
One Step per Tenfold is an interactive mathematics lesson about exponential functions, logarithms, and logarithmic scales. Explore how changing a base or exponent affects an exponential curve, reverse the relationship to calculate logarithms, and see how a scale that advances by powers of ten fits values from 1 to 1,000,000 on one screen. Mission-based interactions guide learners through key examples such as powers of 2, zero and negative exponents, and changing logarithm bases.
Use cases
