Solving Rational Equations Worksheet and Link to Octahedron Activity! Activity:

1. Students may complete the worksheet on their own or with a partner in class. I used the worksheet as classwork/homework. By having the students do the mathematics before constructing the octahedrons, they will have the opportunity to check their work!

2. Go to http://mdk12.org/instruction/academies/resources_2012/Mathematics/pdf/Math_unit_resources/Algebra_II/Unit_Plan/LessonSeedRational_Equations.docx for the template to the actual activity. Print activity on card stock for individual students or pairs. The octahedrons serve as a tool for students to check their own work and décor for your classroom! (The lesson did not come with an answer key—I have confirmed that the octahedron template contains all problems and solutions possible.

Thanks for choosing Algebra Anj for your math lesson needs!
