Abstract

In this study, the relationship between real life and the problems in 6th-grade mathematics textbooks
in Turkey and Iran has been examined comparatively. The research analyzed the problems in the
textbooks according to the PISA context category. In this study, which was determined as document
analysis, one of the qualitative research approaches, the collected data were analyzed by content
analysis. As a result of the findings, it was determined that the questions related to daily life in the
6
th-grade mathematics textbooks represented in both countries were quantitatively less than the total
number of questions. According to the PISA context category of the problems in the Turkish and
Iran textbooks, it is seen that the most personal problem and the least scientific and professional
problem types are included. It is thought that the problems in the textbooks should be higher to
embody mathematics, to enable students to better interpret where and how they should use
mathematics in real life and be more successful in international exams. It is suggested that the
problems in the textbooks should be associated with real-life situations and more space should be
given to scientific and professional categories.
