Summary/Abstract: The mathematical knowledge of students in the first and second grades is basic for the formation of their mathematical competence. Since 2017 in Bulgaria, the second grade mathematics education has been completed with new nine educational sets of different publishing houses. From a methodological point of view, it is of scientific interest to analyze and compare these variant textbooks. The present study includes a comparative content analysis of the current nine second-grade mathematics textbooks in several important methodological aspects: the development of topics for natural numbers from 21 to 100 themes, for the addition and subtraction of numbers to 100, for multiplication and division of number to 100, for finding unknown component, for geometric content and for text tasks. At the end of the development conclusions are formulated.
