The aim of this paper is to illustrate how the research results generated in the field of mathematics education could be implemented in the design of mathematics textbooks tasks. First we present research findings related to the concept of function, particularly findings related to representation registers and to the conceptualization of function as a process. Next we illustrate with examples obtained from a high school textbook, how these research findings can be implemented in the design of mathematical tasks. We close the manuscript with a reflection on the implications for research that this kind of implementation may have.
