Equations with Algebraic Fractions

 

Students learn how to solve equations arising from algebraic fractions.

As learning progresses, they are challenged to solve equations with algebraic fractions involving quadratics by factorising.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to calculate the difference and total of algebraic fractions.
  • Most students should be able to solve an equation involving a linear algebraic fraction.
  • Some students should be able to solve an equation involving a quadratic algebraic fraction.
