Solving 1-Step and 2-Step Inequalities
This is a MS PowerPoint presentation of a simple but effective strategy to solve 1-Step and 2-Step Inequalities. It consists of an easy-to-understand method to solve inequalities that I have used successfully in my previous 7th and 8th grade math classes. In addition I recently used this slide pack to review the inequality solution strategy in both of my current 9th grade Math I classes. It includes a mnemonic that helps students remember the simple solution steps. It is highly animated and

Solving 1-Step and 2-Step Equations Solution
This MS PowerPoint presentation provides an easy-to-understand and classroom-tested technique for solving 1-Step and 2-Step Equations. I have used this presentation multiple times in my 7th and 8th grade math classes. The equation solution technique includes an easy-to-remember mnemonic that is appreciated by students. I recently reviewed this presentation with both of current Math I classes as a refresher for them in equation solving. It is fully animated and includes a lot of audio to keep

Experience
I am a retired mechanical engineer who, upon retirement, became a middle and high school math and science teacher via the lateral entry process in NC. I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade math and science and 9-12 grade math (Math 1, 2 and 3, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and Precalculus) over the last 15 years.
Teaching style
I typically use a 4-prong approach to teaching math and science in my classroom: 1) 8 to 10 minute presentation (usually a ppt) to introduce and provide some basic instruction for a new math topic, 2) a guided notes paper with lots of blanks to be jointly completed by my students and me, 3) online or hard copy practice worksheets to reinforce the current concepts and confirm understanding and 4) multiple, relevant, hands-on projects to connect the various math and science subjects to the real world. I am a strong proponent of Project Based Learning (PBL) using STEM projects and lessons.
I use my Smartboard and document camera daily during class.
Note: I use all of the MS PPT products that I have listed on TpT website in my own classrooms.
