Add and Subtract Algebraic Fractions (B) WORKSHEET

Once your learners are confident in adding and subtracting algebraic fractions with single term denominators, challenge them with this worksheet that involves binomial denominators.

In Section A students have 8 minimally different questions to answer which are designed to help students grasp these concepts more thoroughly by changing one element of a problem at a time.

Then in Section B learners knowledge is put to the test as they spot, explain and correct common misconceptions in two questions, workings and answers.

Pupils will finish by completing 5 further questions. The challenge is increased here and will even see them working with three fractions in one expression and adding fractions to an integer.
