It is possible for people to live in a healthy, peaceful and happy way in the society on the condition of the existence of the legal rules determined for that society as well as the values that the society has adopted, internalized and wants to pass on to future generations.Values are generally defined as generalized behavioral principles that set a certain standard in reaching a conclusion about the behavior or behavior patterns exhibited by people and that are formed by the emotional dependence of the people who make up the society.Educational institutions and the textbooks used in these institutions have a large share in the transfer of the values defined in this way to future generations.Because textbooks are seen as materials that help value education as well as mediating the transfer of the acquisitions in the curriculum.Within this context, the present study was done to examine the mathematics textbooks prepared for middle school and imam hatip secondary schools in terms of root values.The study designed in accordance with qualitative research method and document analysis technique was used for data collection.5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade mathematics textbooks prepared for middle schools and imam hatip secondary schools form the data collection source of the study.The data obtained from the books were analyzed in accordance with the descriptive analysis technique and classified by giving the page numbers of the root values in the works.As a result, it was obtained that the most common root value in the analyzed mathematics textbooks was responsibility (34 times) and the least common root value was honesty (2) and respect (2).From this result, it can be said that the examined mathematics textbooks are materials that can be used in terms of values education however there is no balanced distribution of the root values in the books.Based on the results of the study, it is suggested to realize a balanced root value distribution in mathematics textbooks that will be revealed in the future.
