This worksheet focuses on the simplification of complex algebraic fractions. Pupils will be factorising mono and non-monic quadratic expressions throughout.

In Section A learners will match up pairs equivalent fractions, encouraging them to see the expressions in factored and expanded form.

Next, students complete a fill the gaps task which will challenge yet guide them through the process of simplification. There are 6 questions to complete which increase in difficulty.

Students are required to work forwards and backwards here to solve the problems.

Now learners are ready to simplify the algebraic fractions unguided. Section C consists of 15 further questions that again increase in difficulty as the section progresses.
