Students will master solving one-step equations involving fractions and variables through a technical, blueprint-themed matching activity. This lesson focuses on isolation of variables using inverse operations with fractional terms.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions with denominators that share common factors but are not multiples of each other. Students will learn to find the least common multiple to create common denominators for comparison.
