2.53 Solving Algebraic Fractions Higher GCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 18-slide lesson, students will learn how to simplify and solve algebraic fractions, beginning with single-term denominators and progressing to more complex expressions. They will practise finding common denominators, simplifying expressions, and solving equations involving algebraic fractions. The lesson builds towards tackling fractions with multiple terms in the denominator, where cross-multiplication and algebraic manipulation lead to the formation of quadratic equations. Students will then solve these quadratics using appropriate methods such as factorising.
