Abstract :
This study analyzed the nature of the
statistical contents and taskstypes intwo Ghanaian senior
high school (SHS) mathematics textbooks The aim of the
study was to examine the similarities and differences in
the contents and taskstypes in the two Ghanaian SHS
mathematics textbooks. Additionally,the study evaluated
the mathematics textbooks used in Ghana mainly in
terms of standards linked to lifelong learning with
learners’ in-class experiences and acquired skills as seen
in the mathematics textbooks.The study further analysed
how much of the textbooks were devoted to statistical
topics, sub-topics and concepts which were embedded in
the statistical units of the SHS textbooks. The
nature,differences and similarities in the statistical tasks
in the two Ghanaian mathematics SHS textbooks and the
level of cognitive demand exhibited by the statistical
tasks were further analyzed.
