Abstract

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 .
