Order of Operations (PEMDAS) Solution Summary
This MS PowerPoint presentation provides a unique and easy-to-understand, step by step technique for using the Order of Operations (PEMDAS) to simplify numerical expressions. It explains why PEMDAS is an important math concept and why the students need to apply it correctly. The slides are highly animated to keep the students alert and focused on the content under review. I always print out a copy of my PPT presentation slides for each of my students to take notes on as desired. I use this

About the store
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.
