This teacher guide is part of the materials prepared for an individualized program for ninth-grade algebra and basic mathematics students. Materials written for the program are to be used with audiovisual lessons recorded on tape cassettes. For an evaluation of the program see ED 086 545. In this guide, the teacher is provided with objectives for each topic area and guided to materials written for a given topic. Three short criterion tests are included for each topic covered. The content of this package centers on work with the ratio of two polynomials (fractions). Techniques for manipulating and simplifying algebraic fractions are presented. This work was prepared under an ESEA Title III contract. (JP)
