Abstract

This research was motivated by students^ lack of understanding in the concept of logarithms, resulting in students not maximizing their understanding of the concept of logarithms. The purpose of this study is to improve students^ understanding of logarithmic concepts through explanation of logarithmic properties with differentiated learning. The sample of this study was taken by purposive sampling from class X high school. The research method uses quasi-experiments. Data analysis used t-tests to see an increase in students^ understanding of logarithmic concepts. The results showed that there was an increase in students^ understanding of the concept of logarithms.
