What college math requirements are needed to be a preschool teacher?

Preschool teachers typically do not need advanced college-level math courses. The math requirements for a preschool teaching degree or certificate usually focus on basic math skills applicable to everyday classroom tasks, such as:

* Basic arithmetic: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This is used for counting, simple budgeting, and measuring materials.

* Fractions and decimals: A basic understanding might be helpful for measuring and sharing materials.

* Basic data analysis: Possibly some very rudimentary statistics for simple classroom assessments (e.g., counting children's responses to a question).

You will *not* need calculus, trigonometry, statistics (beyond very basic levels), or other higher-level math courses typically found in college math curricula. The focus of your education will be on child development, early childhood education pedagogy, and related subjects.
