  2. The Details… • This unit plan was formulated for an Algebra One Classroom discussing Rational Expressions. Each lesson provides in depth techniques on teaching, homework assignments, and solutions. • Within the unit there are also in-class activity days, review sheets, and exams.

  4. The Lessons… • Inverse Variation* • Rational Expressions & Functions • Simplifying Rational Expressions • Adding/Subtracting Rational Expressions • Multiplying/Dividing Rational Expressions • Solving Rational Equations* * Units involving an In-Class Activity Day as well

  5. How Each Lesson Aids Students with Special Needs… • Every lesson comes with a homework handout with ample space to complete assignments, so that students with visual or motor difficulties can successfully complete homework. • Homework problems are scaffolded so that students always have a guide to look off of and hopefully create similar responses in more difficult questions.

  6. Various homework sheets contain a problem completely finished, so that student can view a finished product as a model for their own work. • Teacher notes are color coded so that Aids can easily follow through assignments for students. • Solutions to all homework assignments are accessible to Aids when helping with homework.

  7. Lecture vs. Activity Days Most of the lessons planned in this unit are structured around lectures. On key topics, multiple days can be used to make sure students understand important ideas… Let’s take a look at look at Solving Rational Equations!

  8. DAY ONE Objectives: • Solve rational equations by using the common-denominator method. • Solve rational equations by graphing. Begin lesson by asking how to solve a rational equation “______.”

  9. Three Methods: • Guess-and-Check • Common Denominator Method • Graphing Going over each method helps students to see that there are easier ways to solve an equation rather than just estimating.

  10. **Example from Lesson Plan**

  11. DAY ONE HOMEWORK • Asks questions in various ways…

  12. DAY TWO: ACTIVITY DAY Objectives: • To show students a real-world example of how rational functions are used in FUN contexts. • Simplifying rational eq. in real-world situations. • Evaluate if students understand the basic concepts of simplifying rational expressions while they have FUN researching roller coasters! WORKSHEET

  13. Review & Examination • Select questions from each section help students to review. Review is a take-home AND in-class assignment giving students ample time to prepare. • Full of different ways of assessment; true/false, open-answer, and scaffold questions. Exam
