Learners simplify rational expressions. In this algebra lesson, students solve rational equations using multiplication and division. They apply properties of exponents and negative exponents to solve the problems.

Build an understanding of rational numbers and their counterpart irrational numbers. Lead learners through an explanation of rational numbers and the ways they can be expressed. Then introduce them to irrational numbers and make...

In this algebra worksheet, students divide rational expressions. They find the Least common denominator to simplify the rational expression. There are 8 problems.

Make the complicated look relatively simple. The video shows how multiplication of algebraic fractions is easier when they factor the numerators and denominators. Pupils see which factors will cancel, or divide out, easier when writing...

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

Simplification is about factoring. While working with rational expressions, pupils must know how to factor. The video shows how the process of finding common factors in algebraic fractions is similar to finding common factors in...
