Year 11 Logarithms and Exponential Equations Worksheet — Level 1 — Answers
logₐ y = x means ax = y. Log laws: log a + log b = log ab; log a − log b = log (a ÷ b); log aⁿ = n log a.

10.Evaluate log₁₀ 10.
Answer: 1
101 = 10
11.Write 24 = 16 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₂ 16 = 4
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
12.Write 103 = 1000 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₁₀ 1000 = 3
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
