That depends on who you are teaching. If you are teaching a college course on Calculus then I would say you need to know a lot. If you are trying to teach first graders how to add and subtract you would not need to know as much.

When in doubt it is better to know more math than required, as you may get that one student that asks a difficult question and it may inspire him when you can explain it in detail.
