Abstract

Textbooks are the most widely used type of curricular material in compulsory education. The objective of this work is to analyze the treatment received by verbal arithmetic problems with additive structure in these materials. We carried out a review of recent studies that analyze the semantic structure of problems in textbooks from different educational systems. The conclusion is that textbooks are not, by themselves, effective tools to address the teaching-learning process of problem solving. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the shortcomings of these curricular materials and use mathematical problems that cover all semantic structures.
