The questions were identified via Google Scholar and collected from different data sources. A total of 44 papers published from 1953 to 2015 were selected based specific criteria, with 24 articles include in the SSCI database. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate and interpret the results. A perspective on the learning analysis methods was used to collect studies and showed the mathematics textbooks analyzed were investigated under four themes: The analysis of standards, distributive property, language in mathematics, and others. School{\textquoteright}s level which is investigated textbooks: Kindergarten, elementary, junior school, and senior school. Subjects covered in the mathematics textbooks included algebra and arithmetic, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability, number and operations, among others. Research found the most frequently discussed in perspective on learning was the analysis of the standards and the distributive property (15 studies), the most common subject was number and operations (16 studies), and the highest number in school{\textquoteright}s level was elementary school (18 studies). Nevertheless, fewer studies have been found to analyzing mathematics textbooks. Future research can pay attention for the relevant theoretical issues and collaborate studies in more perspective learning analysis. }, keywords = {content analysis, mathematics textbooks}, isbn = {E-ISSN 2538-7111}, issn = {1822-7864}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/pec/17.75.235}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2017/457-1498500995.pdf}, author = {Cheng Chieh Chang and Sari Muthia Silalahi} } @article {108, title = {THE ROLE AND ASSESSMENT OF TEXTBOOKS IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION}, journal = {Problems of Education in the 21st Century }, volume = {6}, year = {2008}, month = {May/2008}, type = {Original article}, chapter = {27-37}, abstract = {Authors of the article are experienced authors of mathematics textbooks for upper primary schools (Slovaks) and lower and upper primary schools (Czechs).
