ABSTRACT
Analysis of statistics and probabilities in school mathematics textbooks in the Sultanate of Oman in the light of some of the content and processes standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2000)

Mu’tah University, 2011
This study aimed to detect the availability of the content and processes of mathematics standards issued by the (NCTM, 2000) on the subjects of statistics and probabilities in math textbooks in Omani schools (grade 1-12).
The researcher used a descriptive analytical research method. The statistics and probabilities topics included in math textbooks were analyzed by using two analytical tools, the first tool used for analysis of statistics and probabilities contents, and the second tool used for analysis of process standards. The validity and reliability were confirmed, and a sample of statistical units included in math textbooks was obtained.
The results of the study showed that the standards for statistics and probabilities are available at average level, and the level for each stage (1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) ranged between medium and large. In relation to the processes standards, the results showed that the problem solving standard is available at medium level in all stages; while representations and connections standards were at High levels in all stages.
Based on the results, a number of suggestions and recommendations were made for the development of the contents of statistics and probabilities in Omani mathematics textbooks.
