Inverse Operations Part 4 – Rational Equations

The purpose of this packet is to provide you, the teacher, with the lessons and practice students need to learn some of the key concepts involved with rational equations, but with a very narrow focus on procedure.  The procedures students need to access the information in this lesson is basic understanding of fractions (from 5th grade … they have enough to work with now), and basic inverse operations.

This is a critical lesson as it helps students approach a very tricky and difficult topic in mathematics early on, in a fashion that is “safe.”  This will build a lot of confidence and success, which will develop and follow students.  When they start graphing rational equations and functions, they’ll have a solid set of tools with which to manipulate the equations.

When you download this bundle you’ll receive a zip folder with a Read Me document that organizes all of the documents within, making deploying the lessons easy.  (You can see how this document looks from the picture posted below.)  The folder also includes a high quality, well organized, a teacher’s companion that breaks down the key concepts and provides focus for your instruction, reference notes to assign for student reading or reference, one homework assignments, and links to internet hosted information aligned with this lesson for student or parent reference.   There are two homework assignments, along with a partial key.  The online information includes videos, online notes, and practice problems from Khan Academy.

As is the case with all of the bundles and lessons from Math Connected, you can use the materials easily in a traditional lesson, a flipped classroom setting, or a virtual classroom.   If you assign the notes to be read by the students, they’ll further develop their literacy and experience with technical writing.  Either way, they’re a great reference for students.

All of the materials here are aligned in a way that you can support students of various abilities, while providing access to content for review or for absent students, and even parents that want to have access so they can “help,” their child perform well in class.
