Logarithmic differentiation lesson for Calculus with guided notes, homework, and video lesson. Teach using logarithmic differentiation for product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, and expressions with variable bases and variable exponents.

This is one lesson from my Calculus Unit 5 – Exponential and Logarithmic Functions curriculum. It includes guided notes, homework practice, a full video lesson, and detailed step-by-step answer keys to support student understanding.

This lesson is designed for a guided, non-AP Calculus course and works well for honors-level high school calculus or introductory calculus classes. The structure helps students use logarithmic differentiation as an organized strategy for more complicated derivative problems

This lesson is designed to make teaching logarithmic differentiation more clear, organized, and manageable while helping students build confidence with more complex derivative problems.

I have been teaching high school math, mostly honors-level courses, in the private school system for over 25 years. After much success with my digital Algebra 2 curriculum with videos, I decided to create a non-AP Calculus curriculum with guided notes, video lessons, homework practice, and detailed answer keys to use with my own students and share with other teachers.

I hope this resource helps make teaching Calculus clearer, smoother, and more manageable for you and your students!
