Having a love for math is all together different than having a love for kids in elementary school. Make sure that you have the sensitivity, patience, and care that it will take to teach on this grade level. Math is a challenging field in itself, affixed with children will make the job just that more challenging.

The Nature of Work As an Elementary Math Teacher?

Elementary math teachers bring math to life in the eyes of children. A qualified elementary math teacher not only knows the subject of mathematics but can communicate difficult concepts to children using various teaching styles and methods to engage and motivate young students. Teachers of elementary math must be able to recognize each individual child's strengths and areas of weakness and tailor teaching methods to each child. Creativity, trustworthiness, cooperativeness and patience are all necessary qualities in someone who wants to become a successful elementary math teacher.Engaging ChildrenThe successful elementary math teacher is an expert at engaging children. Young children often learn best with a hands on approach, especially when learning mathematical concepts. Abstract ideas such as numerals written on a page hold less meaning to a child than handling actual objects that can be sorted, counted, stacked, arranged and traded. Children of this age also enjoy playing board games with mathematical concepts, such as Monopoly, which covers the idea of payments, penalties, interest and budgeting. The elementary math teacher also introduces more complex ideas such as problem solving, critical thinking and abstract concepts to children in upper elementary grades.Training and OutlookTo become an elementary math teacher, a four year college degree is the minimum necessary length of education. Many school districts require that teachers complete a master's degree within a certain duration of time after beginning employment. Most states also require elementary teachers to comply with continuing education requirements to stay abreast of the latest in educational research and technology for the classroom. In addition, all 50 states require elementary teachers to be licensed and certified to teach in that state. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics www.bls.gov, the job growth outlook for an elementary math teacher is expected to increase by 13 percent from 2008 to 2018. The elementary math teacher who speaks a second language in addition to English is advantaged when seeking a job placement, especially in urban locations.
