This study aims to analyse the advance organizers included in the course book “Secondary School Mathematics Course Book 5”—which was prepared in accordance with 2017 secondary school mathematics curriculum and which was accepted as an educational material by Turkish Education Board of Ministry of National Education for use in 2017-2018 academic year—in terms of use, functions and forms. Employing qualitative research method, this study uses document analysis. Content analysis is used in the analysis of the research data. It was found in consequence that comparative advance organizers comparing the previous and new knowledge were heavily used in the course book.

This study investigates the use of the history of mathematics in secondary school mathematics coursebooks designed according to the new curriculum prepared in 2018 and to make alternative suggestions in which mathematics history can be used. For this purpose, four mathematics coursebooks, which were decided to be taught in schools affiliated to the Turkish Ministry of National Education for four years as of 2018, were analyzed by document analysis method, and this research attempted to determine to what extent the history of mathematics was used in these coursebooks. While making this analysis and analyzing the data, the categories proposed by Erdoğan et al. (2015) were used, including “historical notes,” “notes on usage areas of mathematics,” “applications with historical notes,” and “historical elements in students‟ extracurricular activities.” As a result of the study, it was found out that the 27 elements of the history of mathematics used in the coursebooks were mostly included at the fifth grade, in thelead-in stage, in the area of learning numbers and operations, in the form of small historical snippets about the historical development of situations other than mathematics. In light of these findings, it can be suggested that the history of mathematics is not used sufficiently in secondary school mathematics coursebooks.

Preparatory Mathematics

DESPITE the great amount of attention focused on the secondary school mathematics curriculum in recent years, there remains a major aspect of the teaching of college preparatory mathematics which has been consistently overlooked. While there seems to be little question that the content and approach of the modern curricula are significant and relevant to the needs and purposes of the future mathematician, engineer, physicist, and statistician, the relevance of the secondary school college preparatory mathematics curriculum to the lives of the future historian, musician, teacher of English, or any articulate layman is doubtful.

Buckminster Fuller

Buckminster Fuller has created a myriad of ideas that are highly appropriate for study at various points in the mathematics curriculum. This article describes some practical, hands-on ways in which Fuller's ideas about geodesic domes are being used in the secondary school mathematics classrooms of the St. Paul public schools.
