How do math teachers teach mth?

I'm in college right now pursuing a degree to teach Mathematics for the 4th-8th grade, I graduate in Dec. 2008. This is the list of math classes I was required to take. -College Algebra -Trigonometry -Discrete Mathematics -Math Modeling I -Linear Algebra -Calculus I -History of Mathematics -Foundations of Higher Mathematics I -Probability, Statistics and Statisitcal Modeling -Plane Geometry -Foundations of Mathematics II -Number Theory -Calculus Concepts and Mathematical Modeling II -Problem Solving This list is from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. There could be other requirements at other univerisities. But this list of math courses are strictly on the 4-8 Math degree. EC-4 majors obviously take easier and less courses. Also, a 4-8 Math/Science major takes most of these classes but not all of them since they are specializing in science as well.
