Glasnovic Gracin, Dubravka – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Mathematics textbooks play a very important role in mathematics education and textbook tasks are used by students for practice to a large extent. Since the nature of the tasks may influence the way students think it is important that the textbooks provide a balance of a variety of tasks. The analyses of the requirements in textbook tasks contain…
