As part of my initiative to provide versatile learning resources, I am converting all my PowerPoint presentations into dynamic YouTube videos through the PowerPoint Combos initiative. This allows teachers to deliver lessons using either the PowerPoint format or the YouTube version, making it easy to share with students’ parents. This flexibility enables students to revisit the lesson at home for additional practice and reinforcement.

Lesson Objectives:
