Abstract

A textbook set is basic didactic material in teaching mathematics and it is very important what kind of textbook teachers and pupils use in teaching mathematics. The aim of this paper is to analyze the tasks in textbook sets of mathematics for the 4th grade of primary school using the SPUR approach. SPUR is a multi-dimensional approach to learning mathematics that encourages development of pupils through four dimensions: skills, properties, uses and representations. The sample consists of math textbook sets for the 4th grade of primary school. The instrument is a checklist compiled for the purpose of this research. Analyzes show that textbook sets differ significantly in the number of tasks by SPUR. Textbook sets predominantly stimulate development of skills, and least frequently the ability to graphically represent procedures and solve tasks.
