Description

This no-prep, scaffolded lesson on simplifying algebraic expressions with fractions, is a critical step in preparing students to solve algebraic equations. Students are given examples of fractional expressions with variables, in which the denominators are the same, distributive property with fractions, expressions with more than one different variable, and fractional expressions with different denominators. This lesson can be taught whole class or in small groups, with time for the students to complete each type of expression individually. A challenge problem is added for those students who have mastered each expression from previous slides.
