Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the content of 8th grade mathematics textbook on the basis of its compliance with the perspective of mathematics content analysis. The statistical community is 8th grade mathematics textbook. In this study, the entire content of 8th grade mathematics textbook has been analyzed. The research instrument was the researcher-made content analysis form. In order to face and content validity and validation instrument for the study, the opinions and viewpoints of experts were used. As well as to the validity of the results, agreed formula coefficient of reliability William Scott is 81%. The findings of this research show that 8th grade mathematics textbook is less of the stuff the field circuit used in conformity with the principles of content and math has never been so successful the reality circuit.
