# Rounds to zero.

! Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 percent and 50 percent (i.e., the standard error is at least 30 percent and less than 50 percent of the estimate).

‡ Reporting standards not met. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 50 percent or greater (i.e., the standard error is 50 percent or more of the estimate).

¹Mathematics teachers with a degree and/or full certification in mathematics or mathematics education.

²Mathematics teachers with a degree and/or full certification in a field related to mathematics (e.g., science, science education, computer sciences, engineering).

³Mathematics teachers with a degree and/or full certification in general elementary, middle, or secondary education.

⁴Mathematics teachers who did not have a degree or certification in their teaching field, a related field, or general elementary, middle or secondary education.

NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some data are not shown.
