This paper is an analysis of the aspects involved in the learning of the decimal numbering system (SND) in the first three years of primary school. The strategies and procedures that constitute the essence of the SND are highlighted, as well as the teaching resources that contribute to this purpose and serve as guidance to teachers when choosing a book for their classrooms. All of them were considered in an instrument that has been applied to the texts of three Spanish publishers and other Brazilian ones that are largely used in both countries. The results show that this item is engaged in more than 72% of the activities, so it provides a quite approximate description of the totality of the texts. A surprising distance from everyday life mathematics and from significant learning was also observed, going against what is universally accepted today.
Keywords: Decimal numbering system; Textbooks; Early years of schooling; Mathematics.
