| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

PEMDAS
Grade 8
Mathematics
20 Students
This lesson aligns with Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on applying the order of operations in solving multi-step problems.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to PEMDAS | 5 | Introduce the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction) and its significance in mathematics. Provide real-world examples where order of operations is important. |
| 2 | Break Down PEMDAS | 10 | Explain each component of PEMDAS with examples on the whiteboard. Use visual aids or a handout to reinforce the concepts. Allow for questions and clarifications. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 | Distribute problem set worksheets with guided problems. Work through the first two problems together as a class. Encourage students to show their work. Circulate around the room to provide assistance as needed. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Have students complete the remaining problems on the worksheet independently. Remind them to use PEMDAS and show all steps in their work. |
| 5 | Wrap-up and Exit Ticket | 5 | Recap the importance of PEMDAS. Distribute exit tickets asking students to write one thing they learned and one question they still have. Collect exit tickets before dismissal. |
Assign a homework worksheet with problems requiring the use of PEMDAS. The homework will be collected and checked; however, it will not be presented in front of the class to maintain a supportive environment. Provide written feedback on the homework as needed.
Evaluate students' understanding through observation during independent practice and the exit tickets they submit at the end of the lesson. Review homework for comprehension and provide individual feedback.
