Methodology: Math methods
Course requirements and descriptions were examined to ascertain whether a course addressing mathematics methods was required and, if so, how much of it was devoted to elementary mathematics methods. In the case of mixed subjects (e.g., mathematics and science methods or mathematics content and methods) or grade spans (mathematics methods for both elementary and middle school), credit was apportioned appropriately. For example, a three-semester-hour course in mathematics methods in grades K-9 was credited with focusing on elementary mathematics methods for two semester hours.
