SM> Does anyone have any good lessons or methods for teaching  
SM> fractions with variables to 8th grade Algebra Students.   
SM> This concept is extremely hard for them to grasp. 
 
I find that their foundation in operations of fractions, and 
common factors, common multiples etc. for integers 
extremely important and I would review these parts 
until they are very familiar with it, especially the rules. 
 
I then ask them to make a poster of all these rules for 
the class room. 
 
After that, the fractions with variable is just application 
of these rules with a new twist.
