US Grade 4 - 6
In this class students will learn the steps in the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiply and divide, add and subtract (pemdas). PEMDAS is shown through 5 different pnemonics to aid with memory. Students can choose any memory trick and solve problems using that graphic to help remember the steps. (There are 12) Then there is a practice page with about 18 more problems to solve which incorporates pictures from each memory device. Each student will hopefully find a pnemonic which helps them recall the correct order for problem solving. The grahics make the practice more fun and entertaining which contributes positively to the retention of the process. Students should know how to perform each mathematical task, including the use of exponents.

Teacher expertise and credentials
West Virginia Teaching Certificate
I teach classes in many subjects. I am proficient in reading, grammar, and math. I also can teach science, history, social studies, and some Spanish.
I have a college degree in teaching and a permanent certificate. I have taught all subjects to fourth graders including everything involved in science fair participation. I then spent years working as a substitute teacher in all grades from TK through high school. I worked some long-term assignments in the high school teaching language arts, history, business education, job preparation, keyboarding, journalism, and credit recovery.
I believe education is most effective when it is remembered. I believe in creating projects with content and utilizing interactive journals. I have created games to help learn basic concepts in grammar and math. These will be listed as soon as possible! Education can be fun!!
When not working I like to crochet projects to be donated for use or as gifts to family members and I try to volunteer at a local center.Reviews
