dc.description.abstractIn this study, it is aimed to comparatively examine practice questions and sample solved \rquestions about the multiplication of fractions in mathematics textbooks in Turkey and \rSingapore. In this direction, document analysis was used as a research method. Descriptive \ranalysis was used in the analysis and the questions in the books were examined in seven \rcategories: the number of steps, contextual properties, representation type, model type, \rmeaning of multiplication, fraction type, and cognitive expectation. From the results of the \ranalysis, it was seen that there were more questions with pure mathematical context that were \rsolved in one step in the books in both countries. However, all kinds of fraction models are \rused in the questions in the Singapore textbook, whereas the length model is not used in \rTurkey. In addition, in fraction multiplication, the repeated addition meaning of multiplication \ris used only in Turkey, whereas in Singapore the operator meaning is mostly used. When \rexamined in terms of fraction types, it was concluded that there are no examples in the form of \rnatural numbers × fractions in the Singapore books, but that there are more problems about \rfraction × fraction in Singapore. When the results are evaluated in general, it is observed that \rthe books in both countries have advantages and disadvantages compared to each other, but in \rterms of the categories studied the distribution in the Singapore textbook is more balanced than \rit is in Turkey.
