Abstract

This study aims to determine the suitability of Mathematics textbooks published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology for grade IV elementary school on flat geometry material based on Bell's criteria which include: suitability of mathematics material, delivery methods, physical characteristics of books, and instructions for teachers. The research method used is qualitative with content analysis that can be done using the concept of praxeology. Data collection techniques used are documentation and questionnaires validated by mathematics education lecturers and class teachers. Data collection was carried out with textbook suitability sheets based on Bell's criteria by considering aspects of material suitability, material delivery methods, physical characteristics, and instructions for teachers to two mathematics education lecturer experts and two teacher experts. The results of the study indicate that the textbook is generally included in the category of being suitable for use as a learning resource at the elementary school level. However, several aspects such as additional instructions for teachers, incomplete material summaries and alternative teaching strategies still need to be improved. This study is expected to be a reference in the selection and use of quality textbooks in mathematics learning.
