The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding of the relation between features of the text of mathematics tasks and the tasks’ demand of reading ability. Variations in students’ reading processes when they work with PISA mathematics tasks with high demand of reading ability are identified and analyzed. These variations can be related to linguistic features of words, phrases, or sentences in the tasks, which in turn can be possible sources for the high demand of reading ability.
