Most of the problems that were printed in our school math textbooks were fictional. They were made up by the author of the book to illustrate some mathematical principle.

I don't see how the sense in which those problems are fictional is relevant to the discussion. Tapping out.

The topic is about whether to teach through fiction or facts. Whether something is fictional seems relevant.
