Solving Fractional Inequalities

In this lesson, students learn how to use algebraic methods to solve fractional inequalities. In my experience many students can identify the general approach and are able to manage initial algebraic steps such as multiplying both sides by the square of the denominator. However, they often struggle with handling critical values, interpreting inequalities correctly, and using set notation in their final answers.

To address these challenges, I’ve created two video tutorials that address the common problems students experience.

Members of mr-mathematics.com can download the complete lesson plan on solving fractional inequalities, including the PDF resources featured in the video tutorials, to use directly in their classrooms.
