The study aimed to analyze the content of the Palestinian mathematics books for the ninth grade in the light of the NCTM standards. The researchers used the analytical descriptive method. The study sample consisted of the content of the ninth-grade mathematics books which were applied in the academic year 2016-2017 in Palestine by two books. The researchers used the content analysis tool, which was prepared based on the NCTM standards for content standards. The study concluded that mathematics books for the ninth-grade primary for the academic year 2017-2018 included the NCTM standards for content at varying rates. One of the most important recommendations of the study is that curriculum professionals should be exposed to global standards for curriculum development such as the NCTM standards, a review of weaknesses and poverty in ninth grade math books and reinforcement of strengths.
