Abstract
In this paper, we study the frequency of different types of arithmetic word problems (AWP) in Lithuanian textbooks. The results show the lack of variety among types of AWP. We propose the framework for analysis of the frequency of types of AWP in a textbook and apply it to a particular set of primary school textbooks. We use a statistical method to compare the sample from the textbook rather than from the entire textbook. Also, we compare the proportions of types of AWP in Lithuanian textbooks with those in Singaporean and Spanish textbooks. The approach adopted in the paper can be used to analyze other textbooks from different countries.
