Solving Order of Operations Problems | 7th/8th Grade Math

This one time session will show your learner how to properly solve expressions using Order of Operations (PEMDAS)! We will review the proper steps to ensure we don't forget important pieces when going through the process. This is a great way for your student to become acclimated to pre-algebra concepts.

Throughout my teaching career, my number one observation has been learners inability to show work properly results in the poor grades they may be attaining. This lesson is designed specifically to create a repeatable structure your learner can use every time they go to solve an algebraic equation. 

I am a certified math teacher who has always enjoyed the integrated classroom. Students of all learning styles and abilities are welcome anytime. Real world problems are always incorporated into the lessons, so students will never question "but when am I going to use this in real life?". Learning is a team effort, and it is always nice to make it more of a conversation rather than a lecture. I always enjoy hearing students at least one time, even if it is for a simple addition problem! Students are informed of this preference at the beginning of class, and you would be surprised how the majority of them rise to the task and feel much more accomplished and happy for doing so! It is something that quickly spreads to the other students as well.

My teaching style is engaging and fun, and we discuss topics and work through each problem together instead of simply being lectured. Because most students are visual learners, I use an interactive whiteboard for students to be able to see the work for each problem.
