Abstrakt: Teachers are the ultimate decision makers with regard to mathematics content taught in classrooms and research has shown they rely on textbooks to help with those decisions. The purpose of this study was to examine students' opportunity to learn mathematics with respect to the specific content strands contained within the textbook. The results reveal that although teachers provide some attention to each content strand contained within the textbook, the decisions they make about what specific objectives to teach and what to omit results in a different emphasis on each strand than is represented in the composition of the written curriculum. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
