I enjoyed this unit as a whole; however, problems arose just like every unit. It took me a few days to understand the difference between adding/subtracting or multiplying/dividing when simplifying. I knew that when adding/subtracting, you want standard form in the numerator and factored form in the denominator. Then, when multiplying/dividing I thought you had to go through the same process and when going through the problems incorrectly I got extremely confused. After getting help I found that simplifying rationals was my favorite part of the rationals unit.
