Curriculum framework covered: Class: year seven Duration: 45 mins

Teaching aims: All students to be familiar with simplifying algebraic Resources: Homework:
fractions.

Key Teaching Points Points to Remember:

Introduction/Review: The teacher asks the students to simplify numerical fractions Key Qs/Vocab:
5 mins Like 42/6 and 30/6

Teach: Key Qs/Vocab:

2
15 min The teacher writes the following example on the board : x/2 x
Then explains to the students that in order to simplify algebraic fractions we have
to find a common number or expression in the denominator and numerator.
Solution:
1\ expand 2 x 2 to X.(2X) : X/ X.( 2X)
2\ look for any common expression in the denominator and numerator : X
3\ LET THE COMMON EXPERSSION CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT :
X/ X.( 2X) = 1/2X

-Example :3x/ x 2-2x

Solution :
1\ 3x/ x 2-2x : We factor the denominator by x
2\ 3X / X (X-2) Then we divide both( denominator and numerator )
 by X
3\: 3/(X-2)

-EXAMPLE : (2 y 2-4y) /( y 2-4)

1\ we factor the numerator by 2y : 2y(y-2) /( y 2-4)
2\ we expand the denominator from ( y 2-4) to (y+2)(y-2) :
2y(y-2) /(y+2)(y-2)
3\ Then we divide both( denominator and numerator )
By (y-2) : 2y(y-2) /(y+2)(y-2) = 2y/(y+2) .

20 mins from page 81

Note: the teacher is to work with the LA individually and give them some tips,
explain more and encourage them to finish all the worksheets till 83
While the TA moves around the tables making sure the rest of the class are on task.
