Thank you guys
There is stuff I teach that I know they will never have to use.

Lots of stuff is useful, like percentages and fractions, but some stuff, like the internal angles of a triangle adding up to 180º, I have never had to use.


*edit* out of interest this is the link to the maths test you have to pass to be a teacher.

That's the test I had to do
only to level 2 though, but I got level 4 somehow which is between a level and degree level maths.

Sorry to be negative MrsL but I just read through this test in a little detail and my goodness - some of those questions aren't maths, they're "Here's a graph, which statement is right?"

Jeez.

Well it is only
to teach primary maths.
