What Type Of Math Skills Do You Need To Become A Math Teacher?
Well, I'm not the one to ask really, I'm not the best at math and I'm only in 6th grade. But at my level you'll need to know...
-addition, subtraction, multiply cation, division.
-adding, multiplying, subtracting, dividing fractions, decimals, and percents.
-measurement, (inches, centimeters, meters, millimeters, milliliters, gallons, pint etc.)
But it all depends... What grade do you want to teach?
Also, in my 6th grade class there are people that are in a very high level like 8th or 9th grade. So just be ready. College should teach you a lot!!

1. A good math skill
It depends the type of class you will be teaching. But if you really want to be a secondary school math teacher, master the algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry and statistics...A good teacher explains to those who cannot understand and understands those who cannot explain:)
Everything! You would probablly need to know a lot about algebra. I don't know if you have to specifiacllly good at math but for sure you need to know how to teach it! I hope you become a great math teacher if you want to be one!
