Abstract (English): This paper investigates how analytical geometry is addressed in two collections of textbooks approved by the 2021 National Textbooks and Didatic Materials Program. The research is qualitative in nature and supported by the Teorema System. The analysis, based on the Theory of Registers of Semiotic Representation, shows a predominance of treatment and conversion activities, especially calculation and translation between registers. There is a scarce presence of training activities, which suggests a more instructive than exploratory approach. It is concluded that, although the materials mobilize multiple registers, there are limitations in the connections between them, which may restrict the development of broader semiotic skills by students.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo investiga cómo se aborda la Geometría Analítica en dos colecciones de libros de texto aprobados en el Programa Nacional del Libro y Material Didáctico 2021. La investigación es de carácter cualitativo y está sustentada en el Sistema Teorema. El análisis, basado en la Teoría de Registros de Representación Semiótica, destaca el predominio de las actividades de procesamiento y conversión, especialmente el cálculo y la traducción entre registros. Hay una escasa presencia de actividades formativas, lo que sugiere un enfoque más instructivo que exploratorio. Se concluye que, si bien los materiales movilizan múltiples registros, existen limitaciones en las conexiones entre ellos, lo que puede restringir el desarrollo de habilidades semióticas más amplias por parte de los estudiantes.
