How much Statistics do you think they will ask on the Praxis II Math teacher exam?

Hi. I have not had a full Statistics course, but this seems to be one of the topics listed on the Praxis II Math teachers exam number 0061. Can anyone give me an idea of what they might ask, and how to prepare for this other than taking an entire Stats course?

What are the steps to becoming a math teacher?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Either a middle school teacher or a high school teacher.

What classes would I need to take? What degrees are required? And what could I expect becoming a teacher overall?

Would love comments from math or other teachers? Would greatly appreciate it. :)

please and thank you

My math teacher says teachers should never assign their own subject as punishment. Is that true?

He assigns punishment sentences instead of giving us math problems. He says that’s what experts say but didn’t tell us why.

Every so often, I receive a question from a student in my math class that asks:

Why do we need to learn math ?

I would like to hear from the math teachers of what your response would be.

Thank you.

What is the point of really complex math?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
Math Help


I just saw this problem… Evaluate: 5^logbase5 7 + log base3 1/9?
Hey, this looks really complex to me.

However, what is the point of learning this? How does it apply in real life? The only valid application I see is so math teachers can teach it to future math teachers.

Someone posted the solution to that problem. It is basically restating 7 plus negative 2 equals 5.

What area of math deals with problems like this?
