This study examined elementary school teachers' analysis of mathematics textbooks
and their activities that constitute alternative mathematical tasks. Specifically, this
study aims to analyze the viewpoints of preservice elementary teachers toward the
problem of the activities in the math textbook according to the curriculum of the
2009 revision elementary school mathematics curriculum for introducing fraction of
the equally partitioned discrete quantity. For this purpose, 26 preservice elementary
teachers were selected purposely from G National University of Education. After
analyzing problems, improvements to problems, and ways of organizing tasks in the
alternative activities for introducing fraction of equally partitioned discrete quantity,
suggestions for teacher education for elementary school teachers and proposal for the
composition of textbooks were made.
