  1. Simplifying Rational Expressions Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of simplifying rational expressions by 1) correctly solving at least 3 of the 4 “you try” problems and 2) scoring at least a 2 on their exit slip.

  2. Standard 12.0 Students simplify fractions with polynomials in the numerator and denominator by factoring both and reducing them to the lowest terms.

  3. Assessing Prior Knowledge • Take out a piece of paper. • Fold it in half. • On the top half, list the steps for factoring when a = 1. • On the bottom half, list the steps for factoring when a ≠ 1.
