The aim of this research is to identify the mathematical connections promoted in Mexican middle school and high school level study plans and programs about the quadratic equation concept. Mathematical connections are those relationships between two or more ideas, concepts, definitions, theorems, procedures, representations, or meanings with each other, with those and other disciplines, or with real-world situations. These are fundamental to conceptualize the discipline itself, in the teaching-learning processes and assessment standards. This research is qualitative and content analysis method was used for analyzing the selected official documents. Results indicated that the mathematical connections types promoted in these official documents are procedural, feature, different representations, modeling, meaning and part-whole. Finally, some ideas about future research with the mathematical connections approach are raised.
