I taught mathematics for thirteen years at different secondary
schools of Eritrea . During this period I observed that
students in secondary schools perform poorly in mathematics .
In many workshops and departmental meetings teachers were
frequently complaining about the drawbacks of mathematics
textbooks , particularly about the contents and presentations
in the grade ten mathematics textbook. This motivated me to
make a study of the described textbook , and to forward some
recommendations for the development of the textbook .
