I am a high school mathematics teacher.
I get to school a little early to answer emails and review the day's lesson plans. Then depending on the day I teach 2 or 3 classes that are about 1 hour and 30 minutes long and then before I go home I try to organize class work and reflect on the day. The days I am teaching 2 classes I use those free periods to prep for other day's lessons.
Here's the first step for high school students
For someone who wants to be a high school math teacher, I would recommend majoring in mathematics, as schools will be more willing to hire those candidates. Most universities will have an educational pathway planned out, so speak with your academic advisors about how to best pursue that path.
