• This is about instruction at the elementary level, the relation between the teacher's mathematical sophistication and the quality of the instruction received by the students. Case study method, instructional qualities' relation to student achievements, review of the literature relevant to particular aspects of this research.
• Quite impressive. The authors claim their study to be the first one to research the subject comprehensively.
• There is no free online version of the artice available. Heather Hill is associate professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, see here for a description of the questionnaire used in the research. Her personal page is here
