Abstract
This curriculum project was designed to incorporate an algebra problem-solving instructional strategy, called situation-task-action-result (STAR) in the unit of Rational Expressions in Algebra 2. STAR is an instructional strategy used to connect previously learned mathematical concepts with new concepts that are being learned. STAR consists of three applications to help students understand the connection between past mathematical concepts and the new concept being learned. These applications are Concrete, Semi-Concrete, and Abstract. These applications are defined and applied in each of the four sequential lessons in this curriculum project. The main focus of these lessons is to relate the new concept of rational expressions to the past concept of fractions. This curriculum project was designed using New York State (NYS) Next Generation Mathematics standards. The keys for all materials are provided in the appendix.
