Rational Expressions Inquiry Stack

Sorry my posting has been together with thence sporadic of late.  It turns out that teaching, grad school, together with marriage ceremony planning is waaaaaaaaaaaay to a greater extent than than a full-time job.  Today, I desire to percentage approximately other self-checking practise action I made for my Algebra ii students.  It's a Question Stack to practise simplifying together with adding/subtracting rational expressions.

Here's a quick overview of how a Question Stack works:

• Lay out all of the cards amongst the answers facing up.
• Flip over 1 bill of fare to disclose a question.
• Work that inquiry out.  
• Find the respond on approximately other card. 
• Flip that bill of fare over together with lay it on overstep of the outset inquiry bill of fare to start a stack of questions together with answers.
• Work the novel work that was only revealed.
• Repeat until you lot run out of cards. 

I accept my students operate through these inwards groups amongst mini dry out erase boards.

This was really hastily seat together because 1) I am a procrastinator together with 2) I accept outset hr planning period.  That is NOT a skillful combination.  So, if it bothers you lot that I copied together with pasted approximately questions together with typed others, I apologize.  If your kids are super sharp together with volition uncovering the font differences, you lot should in all probability educate this.  My kids were together with thence stressed out virtually rationals that they didn't seem to notice.  

I seat a Q on the inquiry side of the cards to avoid confusion.  I withal had 1 grouping waste materials a lot of fourth dimension trying to solve a problem.  They couldn't figure it out.  I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't simplify.  Finally, I realized that they were looking at the respond side of the bill of fare that was already simplified.  The residue of the shape gave them a whole lot of grief over that!  

Here are the questions I used:

And, hither are the answers.  The cards create non impress amongst the inquiry together with respond on the same bill of fare when printed double sided.  This is yesteryear design.  The cards should shape a form of loop.
