Logarithmic Function Transformations | Graphs

Logarithmic Function Transformations | Match Equations, Transformations & Graphs | Precalculus & Algebra
Help students master logarithmic function transformations with this engaging match-the-equation, transformation, and graph activity. Students analyze logarithmic equations, identify the type of transformation, and then match each equation to its corresponding graph. This activity is ideal for learners who are just beginning to explore logarithmic functions and their transformations.
Students practice identifying:

Horizontal shifts (left & right)

Vertical shifts (up & down)

Reflections across the x-axis

Horizontal compression

Vertical asymptotes of logarithmic functions

This resource supports conceptual understanding by connecting algebraic expressions, graphical behavior, and function transformations, making it perfect for Precalculus, Algebra 2, and introductory AP courses.
