One of the best ways to gain experience in the field is to work as a student teacher, which is often a requirement of your education degree program.
To succeed as a math teacher, not only will you need to meet all the educational and licensure requirements, but you should also have the right personality for the job. You will need respect for young people and a genuine interest in their success in life. In teaching, patience is most certainly a virtue; adolescence can be a troubling time for children, and these troubles often affect behavior and classroom performance. You may find yourself frustrated and discouraged by students' reactions or lack of response to you as their teacher. During these times, it is important to keep a level head and be patient as you try to connect with and educate them.
You will be working with students who are at very impressionable ages; you should serve as a good role model. You should also be well organized, as you'll have to keep track of the work and progress of a number of different students.
