Abstract

Using the classification methods for mathematical problems in textbooks (Fan & Zhu, 2000) and strategies used to solve problems (Fan & Zhu, 2007), this paper reports the results of an analysis and classification of the type of mathematical problems and problem-solving strategies in a sample made up of the five most widely-used mathematics textbooks for the first year of junior high school in the 2013-2014 school year in Mexico. It is concluded that the textbooks focus on providing a comprehensive range of problems that, for the most part, do not allow multiple problem-solving strategies, whereas others can be solved using an algorithm or direct procedure.
