Abstract : This study analyzed the nature of the statistical contents and taskstypes intwo Ghanaian senior high school (SHS) mathematics textbooks The aim of the study was to examine the similarities and differences in the contents and taskstypes in the two Ghanaian SHS mathematics textbooks. Additionally,the study evaluated the mathematics textbooks used in Ghana mainly in terms of standards linked to lifelong learning with learners’ in-class experiences and acquired skills as seen in the mathematics textbooks.The study further analysed how much of the textbooks were devoted to statistical topics, sub-topics and concepts which were embedded in the statistical units of the SHS textbooks. The nature,differences and similarities in the statistical tasks in the two Ghanaian mathematics SHS textbooks and the level of cognitive demand exhibited by the statistical tasks were further analyzed.
