In the process of teaching and learning Mathematics at the pre-university level, difficulties related to logarithmic equations have been identified among students. Addressing this issue is crucial to ensure a solid foundation. The objective of this article is to present a specific procedure to promote effective learning of logarithmic equations in pre-university education. The study was conducted between 2020 and 2024 at the "Federico Engels" Pre-University Institute in Pinar del Río. The research employed theoretical methods such as historical-logical analysis, along with empirical methods including document analysis, interviews, and classroom observations. The main outcome was a methodological procedure specifically designed to tackle logarithmic equations in the pre-university context, emphasizing the use of different content variants and individualized attention to students. The procedure was based on prior diagnosis and a preventive approach. The conclusions highlight common challenges faced by students when solving logarithmic equations, emphasizing the importance of consistent practice and application of learned properties.
