Abstract
This study aims to examine the interdisciplinary connection between physics and mathematics according to the secondary education physics curriculum in Turkey and to identify the mathematical associations in the objectives (outcomes) and content (subject list) of the secondary education physics curriculum in Turkey through the secondary education mathematics curriculum. The study was designed with an analytical research model and carried out within the frame of document analysis. Data for the study were obtained from the 2018 secondary education physics (Year 9, 10, 11, and 12) and mathematics (Year 9, 10, 11, and 12) curricula in Turkey. Data in the study, which were considered as documents, were analysed by content analysis. At the end of the study, it was determined that the secondary education physics curriculum contains mathematical associations at every class level; however, generally speaking, these associations are not up to par.
