When teaching physics, mathematics serve as a tool which allows to implement issues dealt with in physics: the scientific study of physical matter and phenomena, as well as the detection of general physical laws they are subject to (Rozenbajgier, Kreiner, 1999, 2001). Among the terms composing the language of physics, physical quantities are very important. They are the measurable attributes or characteristics of objects, phenomena and processes. Mathematical issues involving measurements thus play a fundamental role in mathematical contents on which the teaching of physics is based. The results of these measurements often allow for the detection and determination of certain relations between physical quantities, taking the form of physical laws, often formulated as (functional) mathematical relations. Familiarity with these helps to question the issues, which in turn leads to the construction of hypotheses explaining the reasons for the relations observed. Such hypotheses are subsequently verified by conducting relevant experiments. Hypotheses, verified by many experiments and covering a large group, are physical theories. They make it possible to predict the effects of many combined phenomena, for which mathematics are also important as they are related to equations, inequalities or formal rules of algebra. We present in form of a poster the main results of multi-aspect analysis for popular Polish textbook series (Rozenbajgier, Kreiner, 1999, 2001) for physics teaching i
