Adding and subtracting algebraic fractions

A FULL LESSON fully revamped, which could definitely be used over 2 lessons for the right classes, on adding and subtracting algebraic fractions.

Contents of download:

• Normal PowerPoint lesson (7.2f) with which you can use a clicker / mouse / keyboard to continue animations and show fully animated and worked solutions.
• Three worksheets printable for students with examples to speed up the lesson (no copying down questions etc). Worksheet can be used independent of the PowerPoint lesson!
• OLD VERSION of the lesson 7.2a

We are learning about: Adding and subtracting algebraic fractions.
We are learning to: Add and subtract algebraic fractions.

Differentiated objectives:

• Developing learners will be able to find an appropriate common denominator for adding fractions.
• Secure learners will be able to add and subtract algebraic fractions involving binomials.
• Excelling learners will be able to solve unfamiliar problems involving adding and subtracting fractions.

Main: Walked through examples of increasingly difficult questions, which lead on to practice exercises of similar question types with slight extensions. Further examples and questions split the lesson into 3 distinct parts (or 2 whole lessons for the appropriate classes). All solutions given on PPT.
