  The Mathematical Education of Teachers
Prospective teachers of K-4 mathematics should take 9 semesters of coursework related to the fundamental ideas of elementary school mathematics; mathematics teachers in grades 5-8 should have 21 semesters of similarly-appropriate coursework; the equivalent of an undergraduate degree in mathematics is recommended for teachers of grades 9-12.
To prepare teachers of grade K-4 for their role in students' mathematical development, it is recommended that teacher-preparation programs focus on four broad areas of mathematics that elementary school teachers are responsible for: numbers and operations; algebra and functions; geometry and measurement; and data analysis, statistic, and probability.
The Mathematical Education of Teachers: Parts 1 and 2 (the full document, 145 + xiii pages), may be purchased from either the American Mathematical Society (http://www.ams.org) or the Mathematics Association of America (http://www.maa.org).

  Mathematical Association of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is a professional society that focuses on undergraduate mathematics education.
Members include teachers at the college and high school level; graduate and undergraduate students; and mathematicians and scientists.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it may be best known as publisher of technical and popular mathematics books, as well as five journals aimed at mathematicians and educators, and for sponsoring light-hearted but nontrivial exercises such as building mathematical surfaces out of Lego bricks.
