The aim of this study is to determine how often middle school mathematics teachers
use math textbooks in face-to-face and online classes. Teachers' views on the
usefulness of math textbooks in online classes were also examined within the scope of
the study. The mix method design was used in the study and the participants were 215
middle school mathematics teachers who participated in the study through the multilayer sampling technique. The data were obtained from the evaluation form and
analyzed through inferential-descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that
the use of textbooks in online classrooms decreased, and digital resources were more
preferred in these classes. A statistically significant difference was found between the
usefulness scores of the mathematics textbooks in face-to-face and online classes,
which were evaluated based on the participants' views in terms of the "In-class
practices" dimension. In order to ensure the current mathematics textbooks more
useful in online classes, the participants suggested designing the textbooks as econtents and increasing the qualification of examples.The other results were discussed
in terms of teaching practices and student needs in future classrooms.
