Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the content of algebra in mathematics books in the third grade to the fifth grade in Jordan in light of the standards of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers (NCTM, 2000), In all aspects of the study for the academic year (2018/2019). The sample of the study included the axis of algebra in each book of this stage. To achieve this, the descriptive method was used through the method of content analysis. Lycartes averages.
 
 The highest scores in the third, fourth and fifth grade textbooks were for the criterion of analysis of change in different environments (1.84), while the lowest level of understanding of relations, patterns and functions was (0.90) And the use of mathematical models between these two grades. In light of these results, the researcher recommends that the criteria for the content of algebra should be considered in the basic stage books in the third, fourth and fifth grades.

Highlights

  • Mathematics is one of the oldest and most advanced sciences in human history

  • The results showed that the content of engineering in Jordanian curricula does not comply with the standards of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers, where the average availability of standards in the curriculum content is 39.8

  • What is the availability of school mathematics standards issued by the National Council of Mathematics Teachers (NCTM, 2000) on the content of algebra in math books in the third grade to the fifth grade in Jordan?

Summary

Introduction

Mathematics is one of the oldest and most advanced sciences in human history. It plays an important role in the life of the individual as it is indispensable in the organization of various daily activities. It has developed and developed in all areas of life. The objectives of teaching mathematics have evolved from a simple focus on precision and speed in computation to a focus on comprehension and problem solving, which is one of the basic objectives of mathematics teaching. The ability of students to solve mathematical problems has occupied a large part of the interest of researchers in the field of mathematics teaching.
