Math is a discipline which builds upon itself. Therefore, it is very important for students at an elementary level (k-5) to build their basic math skills in order to expand the concepts throughout their academic careers
Elementary/secondary education or general mathematics. Maybe there is such a thing as mathematical education...?
No. you don't need to minor in math to teach in elementary schools because if you take up elementary education as your course, you can not say that one subject is your major or minor. In elementary all the subjects are your major because you are teaching all the subjects anyway.
It is important to compare schools and services, when making a decision about your childs education. Here is a website that has information about online elementary education for you: www.k12.com
Pretty much the Ivy Leagues and colleges that offer education degrees are going to be good for elementary math teachers. College life can be rough, but is also a rewarding experience when you finally have your freedom from your parents.
To teach at the secondary level or higher you really need a math major although you can be certified in most states with a minor in math and can likely get a job since math teachers are relatively scarce. You need to take the education courses needed for certification if you want to teach in a public school. You can teach math at the elementary level after one or two courses in math for elementary education. At any level, you will find it advantageous to take as many math courses as you can.
Primary education is the other term for elementary education.
That depends on the state you live in. In some states, sixth grade can be taught with either an Elementary Education degree (usually good for K-8th grade) or by a Secondary Education degree (6th grade-12th grade). Elementary Education majors need to take the same basic math classes all other college students take plus a "math for Elementary School teachers" type class. In most states, to get Secondary Education certification you need to get a major in a subject matter, then take extra classes to learn to teach. So you'd need to get a BS in Math, which involves LOTS of math classes starting with Calculus and going up from there, including theory classes.
