Problem posing activities in primary school mathematics textbooks

Öz:
Textbooks are important for mathematics as they are for other courses. Problem posing is oneof the important activities in mathematics education. In this manner, the goal of this study is to analysethe problem-posing activities in primary school mathematics textbooks offered by Ministry of NationalEducation and used in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years. For this purpose, 10 primary schoolmathematics textbooks were analysed with document analysis method according to their years, gradelevels, learning domains, sub-learning domains and types of problem posing. We analyzed the numberof problems posed, learning domains that it includes, the number of sub-learning, and problem types.Results showed that there are more activities in the textbooks in the school year of 2017-2018 than inthe textbooks used in the school year of 2018-2019 in all grade levels except second grade level. Inaddition, no problem posing activity was found in any of the first-grade books. It is considered thatincreasing the number of problem-posing activities in the textbooks and diversifying the problem-posingtype are necessary.
