This chapter presents some results of a study on the definitions that appear in the Spanish textbooks for Primary School (Jaime, Chapa, and Gutierrez, 1992). Its aim is to point out the errors in the statements of definitions and inconsistent or inappropriate uses of definitions made in individual textbooks, or in series of textbooks. This study concerned geometry and, more specifically, triangles and quadrilaterals. Most of the problems that arose were strongly related to the understanding and use of language.
