The field of education is full of jargon. There are buzzwords and talking points hammered home so that it is clear what the intentions of teaching (and assessment!) are.  One reason this happens is that teachers have specialized their education in order to become a teacher and have spent a good amount of time around…

Algebra; Logarithmic Functions

A logarithmic function is basically the inverse of an exponential function. Take a >0 and a≠1.  Then the inverse of the function f:RàR defined fy f(x)=ax is logax which is called as logarithm of x with base a. Usually log10x can be written as logx. So the definition of logarithm is as follows. logax =…

Introduction to Three Dimensional Shapes 150 150 SchoolTutoring Academy

Introduction to Three Dimensional Shapes

Dimension is a property of shapes which tells whether the shape has the height (or depth). A three dimensional shape also called as a solid shape is a shape which has 3 measurements length, breadth and height. They look different by observing them from different places and different angles. But where as 2d- shapes have…

Algebra: Exponential Functions 150 150 SchoolTutoring Academy

Algebra: Exponential Functions

There are many quantities like population, compound interest etc.  in real life which grow exponentially.  So understanding of exponential functions is  an essential to deal with such type of things in the real life. If a>0  and not equal to 1 then the function f:RàR defined by f(x) = ax is called exponential function with…
