Do you want to study mathematics to become a teacher?

With a 3.500-year history, mathematics is one of the oldest sciences in the world and permeates almost all areas of everyday and professional life.
 
It is the special task of teachers to show children and young people the importance of mathematics and to generate learning processes that enable them to experience and to learn about mathematical relationships. The didactics of mathematics deals with questions of teaching and learning mathematics and includes mathematical, historical, pedagogical and practical school components.
