BMR as it relates to caloric expenditure is a percentage of the total caloric output of the person for 1 day.

People expend calories through a couple different ways:

1) life supporting functions (respiration, heart beat, etc)

2) Daily movement (work, walking, eating, etc)

3) Exercise (workouts, possibly teaching, etc)

To make it simple BMR is the #1 out of those 3.

Hope that helps!

In a nutshell, BMR is how many calories you burn at a resting rate to sustain bodily functions necessary to life. TDEE is the BMR + calories expended carrying out daily activities.
