The data obtained from the semi-structured interviews were analyzed with the content analysis techniques. As a result of the research, the least social value was found at the first grade level, and the other three degrees were found to be distributed in a similar way. The most common value in the mathematics text books was found to be love value. The least common value was observed to be tolerance value. In addition, it was observed that most of the social values were included in the "Numbers and Operations" learning domain. On the other hand, classroom teachers stated that social values occur less in mathematics books.
