Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the level of inclusion of digital literacy skills in the mathematics book for the first intermediate grade in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical approach (the method of content analysis) was used, and the tool used in the analysis was a content analysis card consisting of (12) indicators. They are divided into three main axes (information literacy skills, media literacy skills, technology and communication culture skills).
