Hey,

I am asking on behalf of a friend. He wants to become a maths teacher however he doesn't do 4Unit at school.
He was wondering would any university accept him into the maths teaching course?
He is doing fairly well in 3Unit at the moment.

Thanks

yes, to my knowledge no uni undergrad unit has ext 2 maths as a prerequisite. and look at the teacher you had in year 7, do you think they did ext 2. btw in the first 6 months of uni you basically cover ext 2.....anyway its teaching, they will take who they can get

I know that at Wollongong Uni the only thing that has Maths Extension 2 down for assumed/required is a degree in Mathematics. Maths Teacher only has Extension 1.

people do general maths and become maths teachers.
Most maths teachers are 2u/mx1 ex-studies
I know mx2 teachers (good ones) only having doen 3u at school

Bachelor of Science - Advanced Mathematics in USYD requires ext 2 maths...
but most of them would only require extension 1 maths anyway
but if you can do ext 2 maths then first semester will be a breeze for you :p
