The authenticity of the tasks in the three sets of Grade 11 Math textbooks, General Education Program 2018

Abstract

The article focuses on the authenticity of mathematical modeling tasks. It applies Palm’s (2007) authenticity criteria and categorizes tasks into levels of real-world relevance to evaluate those in three Grade 11 mathematics textbooks. The findings indicate that the current textbooks have integrated numerous real-world tasks; however, differences in the levels of these tasks are analyzed and discussed in detail within the article.
