This flow chart, designed like a dichotomous key, is made to help students break down the process of expanding and condensing logarithms. Students answer a series of yes-or-no questions that lead them to the appropriate logarithm properties to apply. For example, when condensing logarithms, students consider the question "Is there any addition?" A "yes" leads students to use the Product Property; a "no" leads students to the next question. All paths end with "Simplify and you are done!" Note:
