Abstract

Mathematics is an important discipline in education which provides a basis for problem solving, critical thinking and analytical skills. Textbooks are as important for mathematics as they are for other subjects. Problem posing is one of the important activities in mathematics education. The purpose of this study is to analyze the activities of problem presentation in the mathematics’ textbooks of primary schools from the first to the fifth grade provide by the Ministry of Education and Science. For this purpose, five elementary school mathematics’ texts were analyzed with the method of analysis, educational fields and types of problem presentation. The results show that in the textbooks of the subject of mathematics from the first to the fifth grade, excluding the mathematics book for the third grade, they are presented in total 20%, 29%, 34% and 37%, respectively, problem tasks have been presented. From the results, it is considered necessary to increase the number of problem activities in textbooks, their application in everyday life and to diversify the type of problem presentation.
