Math teachers nowadays teach their students math by making them memorize equations, memorize steps and processes, by giving examples for students to follow and analyze.

I don't think math is meant to be that way.

According to my teacher in my university, Math is not just learned by memorizing, following the step by step process, and by looking at examples and copying the exact the same process on how it is derived. It is learned by understanding the CONCEPT of what is being taught in math.

Teachers should make their students analyze the CONCEPT of what is taught to them. They must teach their students to understand WHY such step occurred in the process.

What do you need to study to become a math teacher?

The best is to have a college degree and be a math major. Many math teachers do not have degrees in math, however, my personal opinion is that formal math education is a big plus (pun intended) for math teachers. Some math teachers have computer science backgrounds. In many cases, teachers who want to teach math without a math degree need to pass a test to do so. So if you want to be a math teacher, go to college and major in math! Then you also have to get a teaching credential. Some schools have combined math bs and teaching programs.
