I really like rational expressions. Once you can factor, they're easy. I didn't make a whole bunch of fancy foldables for my rational equations lesson, partly because I was end of the year teacher-tired and partly because I didn't think it was necessary. Yes, sometimes I do just have students write in their notebooks!
These are the notes I used for my students. I only did these four problems and then had them start on their homework. They appreciated having extra time to work on homework. Semi-interesting note: my students strongly preferred method 2.
