Lesson Plan
| Name |
Description |
| A Rational Representation: | Students will tackle a real-world situation regarding starting a business that requires a rational equation to evaluate the plan. Students will determine a method and set of steps for solving rational equations and then revisit the original scenario and solve using the new method they have synthesized. Students will also explore, through collaborative learning structures, the concept of extraneous solutions.
