Резиме: Истраживање се бави анализом уџбеника математике за четврти разред основног образовања са аспекта геометрије. Уџбеник математике је помоћ учитељима приликом осмишљавања часова, те су његове анализе значајне за разумевање постигнућа ученика на међународним истраживањима, као што је ТИМСС. Циљ истраживања је уочавање тенденција у структурисању педагошких ситуација у геометрији у уџбеницима математике за четврти разред основне школе у Србији које представљају динамичку карактеристику уџбеника са активностима, објашњењима (наративима), примерима и задацима који пружају образовне прилике за увођење геометријских појмова и откривање и разумевање геометријских идеја. У истраживању су коришћене дескриптивна метода и техника анализе садржаја. Предложену листу структурних блокова у оквиру методологије ТИМСС 2011 истраживања са одређеним категоријама и поткатегоријама допунили смо нашом листом предлога. Анализирани уџбенички комплети математике садрже највише задатака у односу на друге структурне елементе уџбеника. Резултати истраживања показују да је неопходно пажљивије планирање кохерентне структуре уџбеника математике, како би се испунио важан стандард квалитета уџбеника, водећи ученике постепеном формирању геометријских појмова и вишим нивоима знања. Поставили смо питање да ли смо могли да очекујемо боља постигнућа ученика на ТИМСС 2015 истраживању ако знамо да значајнијих промена у Наставном програму, па ни у самим уџбеницима, није било између два циклуса истраживања ТИМСС 2011 и ТИМСС 2015, у којима смо као земља учествовали.
Кључне речи: ТИМСС, педагошкe ситуацијe, уџбеник математике, геометрија, Србијa.

Summary: The research is on the analysis of the Mathematics textbook for the fourth grade of the primary school from the aspect of geometry. The Mathematics textbook is of a great value to teachers when planning lessons, so its analyses are significant for understanding students’ achievements in international research projects such as TIMSS. The aim of the research is spotting tendencies in structuring pedagogical situations in geometry and textbooks for the fourth grade of the primary school in Serbia, which represent a dynamic characteristic of a textbook with activities, explanations (narrations), examples exercises that offer educational opportunities for introducing geometrical concepts and revealing and understanding geometrical ideas. Descriptive method was used in the research, as well as the technique of contents analysis. Suggested list of structural blocks within TIMSS methodology 2011 research with certain categories and sub-categories was extended with our list of suggestions. Analysed Mathematics textbooks contain the most exercises in comparison to other structural elements of the textbook. Results of the research show that it is necessary to plan more carefully coherent structure of the Mathematics textbook, so that a significant standard of the textbook quality can be fulfilled, leading students to gradual forming geometrical concepts and higher levels of knowledge. We asked a question whether we could expect better achievements of students at TIMSS 2015 research if we know that there were no significant changes in the curriculum and in the textbooks between the two TIMSS periods of research in 2011 and 2015, in which we, as a country participated.
Key words: TIMSS, pedagogical situations, Mathematics textbook, geometry, Serbia.
