One's understanding of his culture is enriched when the important historical events relating to the culture are examined from a quantitative point of view. Elementary school mathematics can help our pupils (and probably ourselves) make sense out of some events or happenings of the history of the United States.

This chapter describes how the author leveraged asynchronous online instruction to develop elementary school teacher-leaders' knowledge of elementary school mathematics content and pedagogies in a graduate program in the United States. This chapter provides the theoretical framework of learner-centered professional development and explains how the six courses in the program embody the framework and support teachers' development of knowledge and skills related to mathematics teaching and learning. This chapter also shares the findings of a study that evaluated teacher-leaders performance on five student-learning outcomes in the program as well as feedback on course evaluations and end-of-program surveys. Data analysis indicated that every teacher-leader demonstrated proficiency on each student-learning outcome. Implications for the design of asynchronous online programs are also shared.

This is the thirteenth in the series of annual listings of research concerned with elementary school mathematics.1 The annotated format used for the last two listings has been retained. The annotations do not summarize the study in most cases; rather, an attempt was made to state the findings that may be of particular importance to the teacher. They may serve to guide readers to those studies that are most pertinent for their needs. Little evaluation is possible when space is limited; however, each of the findings has some support within the limitations of the study on which it is based.

This is the eleventh of a series of annual listings of research concerned with elementary school mathematics. During the very important period of change in elementary mathematics education from 1957 to 1966 the summaries were compiled by Dr. J. Fred Weaver of the University of Wisconsin.1 We hope that this listing will prove to be as valuable as the previous ones.2
