International Journal for Research in Education

This study aimed at comparing the extent to which the geometry content of both the Palestinian Mathematics Textbooks and the British Cambridge textbooks for grades (6-8) satisfy the standards the Lesh Model of Multiple Representations. The study used the qualitative analysis approach. It employed two standard analysis instruments based on Lesh Model of representations. Each consisted of two tools; one was used to assess the part dealing with content presentation, whereas the second was used to assess the part dealing with applications. The reliability and validity of both instruments were established. The results showed that Palestinian books and British Cambridge …
