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.
