I'm in Missisissippi, and I believe all our public
universities offer masters, specialist, and doctoral
programs in education, with emphasis in mathematics. If you
have college teaching as future goal, I'd avoid the
elementary designation for the broader math ed.

The two state universities I've attended realize their
graduate students all work. They schedule more classes on
the summer, on the weekend, at night, or as hybrid
(combination of classroom and online). At least 4 of my
coworkers have earned masters and Ph.D. with that
combination.

In addition, you should do some very careful research. There
are many, many scholarship and teaching assistant
opportunities available for math majors. You might find
enough funding to pay for going full time.

A friend of mine has enough scholarship and teaching
assistant funding to do just that - all college expenses and
most of her living expenses. She's taken an unpaid hiatus
from her pubic school job while she works on her Ph.D. in
Special Education.
