Abstract
There is a need to provide 21st century learning through mathematics textbooks. To give valuable input to such an effort, students’ perspective needs to be considered since the students are the ones that get impacted from the effort. Therefore, the present study aims to describe students’ perspective regarding the effort in integrating 21st century learning and mathematics textbook. The study employed mixed methods with a survey approach to investigate the students’ perspective. The findings of this study uncover critical components that should be considered in designing a mathematics textbook for supporting 21st century learning. Based on the findings, a set of recommendations is proposed for a textbook designer.

Summary
Textbooks have an important role in mathematics teaching and learning. The textbooks shapes the students learning and influence teachers in designing curriculum for their classroom [1]. The teachers often used the textbook in sequencing and choosing learning materials in their teaching practice. Textbooks are an important influence on students’ learning activities in the classroom. The textbooks are often the main resources for students in learning mathematics outside the classroom. The students can read the textbooks’ content as preparation before class or work on exercise provided in the textbooks to sharpen their skills
