Math+Teacher

// Math teachers: // // Math teachers have a strict state or district curriculum to follow. They also need to follow a principal’s textbook and get extras for their students. Like all teachers, math teachers need to respect themselves and others to maintain a good salary. If they have committed a felony, meaning a serious crime, they may not be a teacher. // // To become a math teacher, you must go through multiple steps. You have to go through four years of college and get a bachelors’ degree. You also have the option of getting a master’s degree. The courses you have to take in college are; Calculus 1 and 2 and Linear Algebra. Before you finish college, you have to be in Teachers’ Preparation Program or a T.P.P. This is a program that shows that you’re fit to be a teacher. While you’re in college, you can get a small career, teaching young kids. After college, you’re set for a new job that may include teaching older kids. //

// Math teachers demonstrate sample problems for their students. They also write and grade tests. They have to know quite a lot about math. This includes; grading and writing tests and assignments, demonstrating math problems on the board, helping students if they have trouble, and adding percentages to grade worksheets and tests. // // A math teacher’s salary is about $40,000 a year, but New York, Illinois, and Alaska are the highest paying states for math teachers. Math teachers can earn extra cash by tutoring students before and after class. // // Math helps you understand many things and is useful for many jobs. For example, to be a chemist you have to know how to measure things. To be an architect, you have to be able to add the area of materials for a building or house. To become a mathematician, you have to know difficult math skills. Since math links to literally __all__ subjects, it is considered the most fulfilling career. // // In conclusion, math is important in many ways. We are lucky to have people to teach it. // Bibliography:
