Lessons tagged with "common-factors"

This number sense lesson focuses on reducing fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students find the factors of the numerator and denominator. Then, they identify the greatest common factor (GCF) and write it down. Finally, they reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF and interpreting the reduced fraction. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and 10 flashcards for reduced fractions.

This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to simplify rational expressions by factoring. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will factor the polynomial in the numerator completely, if possible, and then the denominator. Finally, they will simplify the fraction by reducing common polynomials factors in the numerator and the denominator. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and three pages of periodic review.
