Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the problems, seen from open-ended/closed-ended type and problem solving type in the topics of geometry presented within the textbooks. This research is based on the analysis of textbooks with geometry topics. The research method used in this study is content analysis using a qualitative approach. The results of analysis of three school mathematics textbooks published by three different well-known publishers (Center for Curriculum and Bookkeeping, Balitbang, Ministry of Education and Culture, Erlangga, and Yudhistira) showed that close-ended types of problems are more dominant in all textbooks and less than 20% problems in textbooks are problem solving type. A more complete discussion will be elaborated in this article.
