ABSTRACT
This study analyzed the tasks associated with measures of central tendency proposed to Chilean
students from 5th to 8th year of basic education. For this purpose, the activities involving mean,
median, and/or mode were identified through the revision of two series of textbooks (16). The
units of analysis were (1) type of measure, (2) task, (3) context, (4) support, and (5) cognitive skill.
The main findings allowed us to indicate that the texts are aligned with the curricular guidelines,
with tasks mostly associated with mean and mode, prioritizing calculation. Additionally, the tasks
lack a context that gives meaning to the data. The support in which the data is presented is written
and tabular. Finally, regarding the type of cognitive skills with the greatest presence in the
textbooks, these are at a basic level.
