1 SKILL 10 Simplify Fractions Teaching Skill 10 Objective Write a fraction in simplest form. Review the definition of simplest form with students. Ask: Is 3 written in simplest form? Why 7 or why not? (Yes, because 3 and 7 do not share any factors other than 1.) Is 6 written in simplest form? Why or 8 why not? (No, because 6 and 8 share a factor of 2.) Point out that finding the GCF of two numbers is the same thing as asking what is the biggest number that will divide without a remainder into the numerator and the denominator. If students choose a common factor that is not the GCF, they may have to simplify the fraction again to find the simplest form. Review the example. PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN In exercises 1 and 2, students practice finding the GCF of two numbers. In exercises 3 8, students apply what they have learned to simplify fractions. CHECK Determine that students know how to write a fraction in simplest form. Students who successfully complete the Practice on Your Own and Check are ready to move on to the next skill. COMMON ERRORS Students may choose a common factor that is not the greatest common factor. Their answer will be a simplified fraction, but not the simplest form of the fraction. Students who made more than 2 errors in the Practice on Your Own, or who were not successful in the Check section, may benefit from the Alternative Teaching Strategy. Alternative Teaching Strategy Objective Write a fraction in simplest form. Some students may benefit from a visual method for identifying a GCF. Provide students with a 10 by 10 multiplication table as shown below (no shading included) Tell students they are going to use the table to help them simplify Instruct students to search for the horizontal row in which they see both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. Start at the bottom of the table to begin the search. (Row 7) Explain that since this is a multiplication table, all the numbers in that row are divisible by 7. Instruct students to divide the numerator and the denominator of the 35 7 fraction by 7: Point out that the only row that contains both 5 and 9 is row 1, which means 5 and 9 do not have any factors in common except 1. Ask: What is written in simplest form? 5 9 Repeat the exercise to simplify Point out that sometimes multiple simplifications may be needed. Work through the process to simplify then Holt Algebra 1

2 Name Date Class LESSON 10 Simplify Fractions Definition: a fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and the denominator do not share any common factors, other than the factor of 1. An improper fraction should be written as a mixed number. To write a fraction in simplest form: Step 1: List all the factors of the numerator and the denominator. Step 2: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF). Step 3: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF. Example: Write 18 in simplest form. Factors of 18: { 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 } 5 Factors of 5: { 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 5 } GCF: Practice on Your Own Identify the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the fractions given. written in simplest form is Factors of 16: Factors of 2: Factors of 36: Factors of 63: GCF: GCF: Write each fraction in simplest form Check Identify the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the fractions given GCF GCF GCF GCF Write each fraction in simplest form Holt Algebra 1

3 SKILL 8 Add and Subtract Fractions Teaching Skill 8 Objective Add and subtract fractions. Review with students the meaning of like fractions and unlike fractions. Point out that adding and subtracting like fractions (fractions with the same denominators) requires simple addition or subtraction of the numerators; the denominator in the answer does not change. Remind students that simplest form means no common factors in the numerator and denominator and no improper fractions. Review with students how to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number. Work through the addition example. Review with students the steps for adding or subtracting unlike fractions. Point out that in some cases, one of the denominators may be the LCD, in which case only the other fraction must be rewritten. Work through the subtraction example. Ask: When subtracting a fraction from a mixed number, what should you do first? (Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.) Have students complete the exercises. PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN In exercises 1 8, students add and subtract fractions. CHECK Determine that students know how to add and subtract fractions. Students who successfully complete the Practice on Your Own and Check are ready to move on to the next skill. COMMON ERRORS Students may add or subtract the denominators. Students who made more than 2 errors in the Practice on Your Own, or who were not successful in the Check section, may benefit from the Alternative Teaching Strategy. Alternative Teaching Strategy Objective Add like fractions. Some students may benefit from a visual model of adding like fractions. Encourage students to use a model until they are comfortable without it. To create a model for fifths, have students draw a rectangle and divide it into 5 columns of equal length. Explain that each column represents one-fifth. Tell students they are going to find the sum of 3. Instruct students to begin 5 5 by shading 3 of the five columns in their rectangle. Since there are not enough fifths to shade more, draw a second rectangle with 5 columns. Instruct students to shade the remaining 2 fifths in the first rectangle and 2 more in the second rectangle. Instruct students to count the shaded fifths. (7) Show that the sum is 7. Remind students 5 that they can rewrite this as a mixed number Ask: How would you model fourths? (Draw a rectangle with columns.) Tenths? (Draw a rectangle with 10 columns.) Have student practice this technique by find the sums and As an extension of this exercise, have students consider the example Ask: Could you use this technique to add the fractions as they are written? (No) What would you need to do first? Rewrite 1 as 2 8. Have students complete this problem. 107 Holt Algebra 1

4 Name Date Class SKILL 8 Add and Subtract Fractions General Operation Reminders Adding and Subtracting Fractions Like Fractions (same denominators) Step 1: Add or subtract the numerators. Step 2: Write the sum or difference of the numerators over the denominator. Step 3: Write the answer in simplest form. Example 1: Add (GCF of 6 and 8 is 2.) The sum is 3. Unlike Fractions (different denominators) Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) and then rewrite each fraction so that its denominator is the LCD. Step 2: Follow the steps for adding or subtracting like fractions. Example 2: Subtract Rewrite as 3 2. The LCD of 2 and is The difference is 3. Practice on Your Own Add or subtract. Give your answer in simplest form Check Add or subtract. Give your answer in simplest form Holt Algebra 1

5 SKILL 66 Factor GCF from Polynomials Teaching Skill 66 Objective Factor the GCF from a polynomial. Review with students how to find the GCF of two numbers. Then explain that the GCF of two variable expressions is the largest power of each variable present in both terms. Have students read the steps for factoring the GCF from polynomials. Work through Example 1. Point out that there are no variables in common, so the GCF is a number in this case. Ask: After you have rewritten the expression in factored form, how can you check your answer? (You can use the Distributive Property to multiply the expression back out you should get the original polynomial.) Work through the second example with students. Point out that if a term of the polynomial is exactly the same as the GCF, when you divide it by the GCF you are left with 1, NOT 0. Have students complete the practice exercises. PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN In exercises 1 12, students factor the GCF from polynomials. CHECK Determine that students know how to factor the GCF from polynomials. Students who successfully complete the Practice on Your Own and Check are ready to move on to the next skill. COMMON ERRORS Students may forget that when a term of the polynomial is exactly the same as the GCF, the quotient of the term and the GCF is 1. Students who made more than 3 errors in the Practice on Your Own, or who were not successful in the Check section, may benefit from the Alternative Teaching Strategy. Alternative Teaching Strategy Objective Find the GCF of two polynomials. Some students have difficulty identifying the GCF of terms that contain variables. Tell students they are going to find GCFs of variable expressions using factorization. Ask: If you were to factor x 5, what would it look like? (x x x x x) Write the expressions 15 x 3 and 2 x 2 on the board, one underneath the other. Factor each term as shown below: 15 x x x x 2 x x x Next, circle the common factors and write them on the board as a product to get a single term. 15 x x x x 3 x x 3 x 2 2 x x x Explain to students that 3 x 2 is the GCF of the two terms. Next, write the expressions 1 x 2 and 2 x on the board. Instruct students to use factorization to find the GCF. Emphasize that each number should be factored into primes. Encourage students to line up the numbers that are alike and do the same for the variables. Ask a volunteer to present his or her answer, including their factorization and what they circled. The answer should look like: 1 x x x 1 x 2 2 x x x x x Have students use this method to find the GCF of the following pairs of expressions: 22 x 2 and x ; 36x and 27 x 3 ; 56 x 6 and 1 x Answers: 2x ; 9x ; 1 x When you are comfortable that students can correctly identify the GCF, write the expressions as polynomials and have them factor the GCF from the polynomials. 13 Holt Algebra 1

6 Name Date Class SKILL 66 Factor GCF from Polynomials To factor the greatest common factor (GCF) from a polynomial: Step 1: Identify the GCF. Consider the coefficients and the variable terms. Step 2: Divide the GCF out of every term of the polynomial. Step 3: Rewrite the expression in factored form. Example 1: Factor 2a 18b. Step 1: The GCF of 2 and 18 is 2. There are no variables in common so 2 is the GCF. Step 2: Divide 2 out of each term: 2a divided by 2 is a and 18b divided by 2 is 9b. Step 3: 2a 18b 2(a 9b) Example 2: Factor 18 x 3 6 x 2. Step 1: The largest integer that will divide evenly into 18 and 6 is 6. The largest power of x present in both terms is x 2. So, the GCF is 6 x 2. Step 2: Divide 6 x 2 out of each term: 18 x 3 divided by 6 x 2 is 3x and 6 x 2 divided by 6 x 2 is 1. Step 3: 18 x 3 6 x 2 6 x 2 (3x 1) Practice on Your Own Factor each polynomial. 1. x 2 6x 2. 3x x 2 5x. 7 x x 2 5x 6. x x 2 9x 8. 3 x 3 3x 9. 5 x 3 x x 3 6 x x x x 2 x 2 Check Factor each polynomial. 13. x 2 5x 1. 20x x 2 16x x x 3 x x 3 18x 19. x 3 x x 6 x 2 1 Holt Algebra 1

7 SKILL 59 Properties of Exponents Teaching Skill 59 Objective Simplify expressions using properties of exponents. Review with students the vocabulary at the top of the student page and then the rule for multiplying variables with the same base. Ask: Do the expressions x 2 and y 2 have the same base? (No) What is the product of x 2 and y 2? ( x 2 y 2 ) Do you add the exponents? (No) Why not? (The bases are not the same.) Review with students how to multiply expressions that have numbers and variables. Ask: In the expression 7 x 5, what is the number 7 called? (the coefficient) Emphasize that to find the product of two expressions, multiply the coefficients but add the exponents of those variables that have the same base. Also point out that when a variable does not have a coefficient, it is understood to be 1. Likewise, when a variable does not have an exponent, it is understood to be 1. Work through each of the examples and then have students complete the practice exercises. PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN In exercises 1 12, students use properties of exponents to simplify expressions. CHECK Determine that students understand properties of exponents. Students who successfully complete the Practice on Your Own and Check are ready to move on to the next skill. COMMON ERRORS When multiplying variables with exponents, students may multiply the exponents rather than adding them. Students who made more than 2 errors in the Practice on Your Own, or who were not successful in the Check section, may benefit from the Alternative Teaching Strategy. Alternative Teaching Strategy Objective Simplify expressions using properties of exponents. Some students may benefit from seeing numbers and variables raised to exponents written in expanded form. Write the following on the board: 3. Ask: How would you write this expression without an exponent? ( ). Next, write the following on the board: Ask a volunteer to come to the board and rewrite the product without using any exponents. ( ) Ask: How would you write this in exponential form? ( 3 6 ) Write and point out that the result is the same. Move on to variables. Write: x 7. Ask: How would you write this expression without an exponent? (x x x x x x x) Have the students write the following problem on their paper: x x 6. Instruct them to rewrite the problem without using exponents and to simplify their final answer. (x x x x x x x x x x x 10 ) Finally, present an example with variables and coefficients. Write on the board: 3 n 7 n 2. Ask: What are the coefficients in this problem? (3 and 7) What do you do with them? (multiply them) Instruct students to rewrite the problem without using exponents and simplify. (3 7 n n n n n n 21 n 6 ) Have students use this technique to simplify the expressions below. Remind students that if a variable does not have a coefficient or an exponent, they are understood to be 1. 2x 12 x 5 (2 x 6 ); 5 n 3 8 n 7 (0 n 10 ); 6 p 2 p (6 p 6 ); 7 h 5 7 h 5 (9 h 10 ) When students are comfortable writing out and simplifying expressions, have them redo the problems using properties of exponents; x a x b x a b. Remind students that you multiply coefficients and add exponents. 129 Holt Algebra 1

Rule: x a x b x a b To multiply expressions that include numbers and variables: Multiply the coefficients. If a variable does not have a coefficient, it is understood to be 1. Add the exponents of those variables that are the same. If a variable does not have an expressed exponent, it is understood to be 1. Example 1: 5n 6n Example 2: x 3 7x Example 3: h 3 k 3 h 5 k 2 (5 6)( n 1 1 ) 30 n 2 ( 7)( x 3 1 ) 28 x (1 3)( h 3 5 )( k 1 2 ) 3 h 8 k 3 Practice on Your Own Simplify each expression. 1. 2x 5x 2. 3a 7 a mn. 15 p 2 3pq 5. 5 b 2 c 5 b 3 c xy ( 3xy) z ( z) 8. d 2 e 8de 9. 6t ( 3t ) 10. w 2 w w r 11 r 2 ( r ) 12. 5x 10y xy Check Simplify each expression f 2f x 2 y h ( 3 h 3 ) 16. 7ab 7ab 17. p 3 q pq 18. 3u 7 u 2 v 19. g 3 g g 20. 2y 8z yz 130 Holt Algebra 1

9 SKILL 63 Simplify Polynomial Expressions Teaching Skill 63 Objective Simplify polynomial expressions. Point out to students that simplifying polynomials works much the same way as combining like terms. The goal is to put together any terms that are similar. Review with students the steps for simplifying a polynomial expression. Explain that terms inside parentheses may not be similar to other terms in the polynomial before they are multiplied. However, after the Distributive Property has been used, there may be more similar terms in the polynomial. Point out that this is the reason for using the Distributive Property first. Direct students attention to the example. Ask: Before you use the Distributive Property, can you tell what the like terms are? (No) Once the Distributive Property has been used, what are the like terms? (2 x 2 and x 2 ; 12x and 10x) Remind students to be careful of negatives. Work through the last step of the example and then have students complete the practice exercises. Alternative Teaching Strategy Objective Simplify polynomial expressions. Some students may benefit from physically matching like terms using circles, squares, triangles, etc. Remind students that like terms must have identical variable factors, regardless of how many different variables are part of the term. Write the following problem on the board: 12xy y x 2 9 2xy 3 x 2 Ask a volunteer to identify the four different types of terms in this expression. (xy, y 2, x 2, and constants) Ask: How many terms have xy in them? (2) Instruct students to place a circle around those two terms. Ask: How many terms have a y 2 in them? (1) Instruct students to place a triangle around that term. Ask: How many terms have an x 2 in them? (2) Instruct students to place a square around those terms. Finally, ask: How many terms are constants? (2) Instruct students to underline the constants. Students expressions should now look like the following: PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN In exercises 1 10, students simplify polynomial expressions. CHECK Determine that students know how to simplify polynomial expressions. Students who successfully complete the Practice on Your Own and Check are ready to move on to the next skill. COMMON ERRORS Students may not recognize like terms, particularly when there are multiple variables with different exponents. Students who made more than 3 errors in the Practice on Your Own, or who were not successful in the Check section, may benefit from the Alternative Teaching Strategy. y 2 12xy 13 7 x 2 9 2xy 3 x 2 Instruct students to simplify the expression by combining like terms. Point out that they should be careful with negatives; if a negative (or a subtraction sign) precedes a term, it goes with that term. (1xy y 2 x 2 ) Have students work the following problems using this technique: 9 t 2 3t 2 8t 2t 2 (Answer: 11t 2 11t 6) 5 x 2 y 1xy 2x y 2 8x y 2 9xy x 2 y (Answer: 6 x 2 y 5xy 6x y 2 ) Explain to students that if an expression contains any parentheses, they must first distribute before they can match up like terms. Work a few examples. 137 Holt Algebra 1
