Middle School Math

I'm in school to be an elementary school teacher, however I would also like to be a middle maybe high school math teacher. My degree will be liberal studies/education, but what steps could I take to teach middle/high school math?

Thanks much!

I got a degree in education, with emphasis in elementary education. My major was fine arts and my minor was math/social studies.
My teaching certificate stated that I was qualified to teach K-8 9 (all subjects), and 9th grade Fine Arts.
Check with your state, but I think you can get a minor in math and that will transfer to your credentials.

What certification test does someone take to become a middle school math teacher in Missouri?

I know there is a C-BASE test that you have to take to be a high school math teacher but I didn't' know if you had to take the same test or a different one like elementary school does.

Do you know?

I have to take a math entrance exam in Jan., and I was wondering how on earth the essay portion would like, what kind of sample questions do you think a middle school math student would get in the form of a 3 paragraph essay?

Probably like, Two students are growing a plant. Katelyn's plant grew to 5 feet in one week. Joe's grew to 7 feet. A week later, Katelyn's plant was 7 feet tall and Joe's was 8 feet tall. Explain the difference of percent growth from week to week, and student to student. Try to explain it very thoroughly. Explain work and at the end repeat all data plain and simple. I don't think you will have to make an essay rather than a short answer. It really depends what grade you are in.

I am interested in becoming a middle school math teacher and I just want some details.

I'm sure you know this depends on location and school. Here in SF Bay area, the average middle school teacher gets about $50K, which might sound like a lot until you realize the average 30year-old, 1600sq foot house in an average neighborhood still costs about $500,000 even after the recent decline in home values.

I wanted to become a Middle School Math teacher and wanted to know what i would have to do. Also , is there any colleges that would have programs for middle school teaching?

A bachelors degree in math, most colleges have a teaching program, look for a good one in your state. Ask your teachers where they went and see if they have any ideas.
