Plexiglass
If it's quarter inch or more, cut on a table saw with carbide tipped
blade. (you can probably use a blade that isn't carbide tipped, but I
always got cleaner cuts, I don't recall how many teeth I used around
60 I think.
Scoring and breaking is an option, but I've never tried it.
Not sure why you would flip the blade around either. Unless this is
for less than 1/4" plexi.
One note, leave the plastic protector on until you are completely done
working with it. Helps to prevent scratches.

I need some help!!!!!
Some times I do to.
Cutting? Scratch a line with a steel hook/barbed object over and over until
the scratch is about 1/16" deep. then break along the line like glass.
Most hardware stores sell a cheep $3-$4 tool that resembles a Pocket knife
for scoring the line.
That's the way to go. Get this tool specifically made to cut plastic,
about $5. You can cut plexi on a tablesaw with a turned-around blade,
but it is nasty without a LOT of ventilation.
