Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the tasks in Indonesia mathematics textbooks, seen from the contextual features in the topics of circle presented within the textbooks for middle school. This research is based on the analysis of textbooks with geometry topics. The research method used in this study is content analysis using a qualitative approach. The results of analysis of three school mathematics textbooks published by three different well-known publishers (Center for Curriculum and Bookkeeping, Balitbang, Ministry of Education and Culture, Erlangga, and Yudhistira) showed that more than 75% problems in textbooks are intra-mathematical context type which means the question is not related to the real life.
