Overview

Middle school and high school math teachers require somewhat different skillsets. In grades middle school and junior high, it's all about helping kids develop a clear understanding of the basics of multiplication, division, geometry, and simple algebra. By high school, students need teachers with the knowledge and training to explain more complex subject matter and make it relevant and interesting for them.
