Simplifying algebraic fractions (Quadratics)

A FULL LESSON on simplifying algebraic fractions involving quadratics.

Contents of download:

• Normal PowerPoint lesson with which you can use a clicker / mouse / keyboard to continue animations and show fully animated and worked solutions.
• Worksheet printable for students. Worksheet can be used independent of the lesson!

We are learning about: Simplifying algebraic fractions
We are learning to: Simplify algebraic fractions using cancellation.

Differentiated objectives:

• Developing learners will be able simplify algebraic fractions using common brackets.
• Secure learners will be able to simplify algebraic fractions by factorising quadratics.
• Excelling learners will be able to solve unfamiliar problems involving algebraic fractions.

Main: Walked through examples on products of binomials followed by increasingly difficult practice questions which can be displayed on the board. Walked through examples on quadratics in numerator and denominator increasing in difficulty to a≠1. Again, followed by practice questions which can be displayed on the board. All solutions given on PPT.
