What does a math teacher do?
Math teachers educate students about many different mathematical concepts such as numeric values, function, equations, and many other mathematical principles. They teach students at all grade levels, but most teach middle school and high school students. At the elementary level math teachers typically teach general mathematics. At the middle and high school levels, most math teachers specialize in a specific area such as pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. They are responsible for creating lesson plans, distributing assignments and homework, and evaluating student performance through tests and projects. Like all other teachers, math teachers must maintain classroom order and take disciplinary measures when dealing with disorderly students.
