Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: This is a content analysis study that aims to analyze the tasks in Pythagorean Theorem unit contained in Indonesian mathematics textbooks and compare them to those of Singapore using the framework to analyze tasks in the textbook with three dimensions of analysis: representation form, contextual feature, and degree of openness. The result of the study shows that in Singaporean Mathematics textbook, verbal representation tasks and closed-ended tasks are commonly found throughout the textbook, meanwhile, application and non-application tasks are divided into exactly a half. In Indonesian Mathematics textbook, combination tasks, non-application tasks, and open-middled tasks are the most common tasks found.
