Abstract
A group of students in a Dutch teacher-training-program were given a collection of fragments from different textbooks, to devise a lesson-plan for the introduction of the concept logarithm. Some of the fragments in the collection contained information on the history of mathematics. The lesson- plans were analyzed to determine how the history of mathematics was incorporated. Some students only used biographical information on the inventor of logarithms, others used exercises and a logarithmic table to enhance the comprehension of the concept.
