Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the statistical activities in a series of mathematics books to evaluate their possible support to the ISLP. The researcher applies the international competition's judging criteria of poster, in the selected series of books, to analyze the 49 statistical activities proposed for all 5 years of Venezuelan secondary education (12 to 17 years old kids and teenagers). The results indicate that the book's activities follow some of the requirements from the poster competition. It seems advisable for the country committee to develop supplementary material for students to help meet competition requirements that are not in the textbook.
