Mathematics Education, classified federally as Mathematics Teacher Education, prepares people to teach mathematics in schools. Where a Mathematics major emphasizes advanced theory, proof, and abstraction, this field aims that mathematical knowledge at the classroom: how students come to understand number, algebra, geometry, and data, where common misconceptions arise, and how to make abstract ideas concrete. It is also more subject-specific than a general Secondary Education major, pairing a substantial sequence of college mathematics with methods courses focused on teaching math in particular. Candidates study enough mathematics to teach it with confidence, then learn how to plan lessons, use manipulatives and technology, and assess mathematical reasoning rather than just final answers.

Most math-teaching positions are entered with a bachelor's degree that combines mathematics coursework with an education sequence and a culminating student-teaching placement under a mentor teacher. Graduates teach mathematics in elementary, middle, and high schools, and qualified math teachers are widely reported to be in short supply in many districts, which can broaden where graduates find positions. Some later add graduate study for specialist, coaching, or leadership roles. Because public-school teaching is regulated, candidates should confirm the certification subjects, grade bands, and exams required where they intend to work.

In federal data for the closely related occupation of secondary school teachers, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2024 median wage of $64,580 and projects employment to decline about 1.6% from 2024 to 2034; a bachelor's degree is the typical entry-level education for that occupation. National figures are occupation-wide medians across all experience levels, not starting wages or graduate outcomes.
