LONJEDO VICENT, M. Ángeles; HUERTA PALAU, M. Pedro  y  CARLES FARINA, Marta. Conditional probability problems in textbooks an example from Spain. Relime [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.3, pp.319-337. ISSN 2007-6819.

In this paper we show part of the results of a larger study¹ that investigates conditional probability problem solving. In particular, we report on a structure-based method to identify, classify and analyse ternary problems of conditional probability in mathematics textbooks in schools. This method is also based on a realistic mathematics education approach to mathematics teaching through problem solving in context. We report some results of the analysis of mathematics textbooks from Spain.
