The tool for collecting information in this project is the checklist for measuring the components of the researcher's imagination and the unit of analysis is the subject. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. The results showed that among the components of imagination, the representation of ideas has the most frequency and the component of unfamiliarizing familiar concepts has the least frequency. Also, the results of the chi-square test showed 95% confidence that between the second grade textbooks in terms of the amount of attention to the concept of imagination There is a significant difference.
