I am not new to \XeTeX but new with using formulas. For me it would make sense to display the formulas in monotype (\ttfamily). Does it make sense to do that? How can I do that?

% math.tex
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[spelling=new]{german}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
text \(-1 \leq r \leq +1\) ist zu ende
\end{document}

What you are writing looks more like source code to me in which case you would probably use verbatim or something from the listings or minted packages. If you are writing "real" maths, I would expect \(-1 \leq r \leq 1\), in that case I would say mono-spaced fonts are unusual nowadays. (I'm not even sure if all symbols are even supported, I suspect that will not be the case with the standard fonts.) – moewe Oct 20 '15 at 15:18
You might be interested in Math symbols in tt font, How do I change the standard “math font”?, What are all the font styles I can use in math mode? – moewe Oct 20 '15 at 15:25
It looks like that there is no real solution - there are only a lot of workarounds. And that points me to the thinking that it isn't usual in TeX-world to use monotype fonts for math? – buhtz Oct 20 '15 at 15:32

I would say you are right in thinking that monotype maths is unusual. I think I have seen one or two papers using monospaced maths, but those were probably written well before the advent of TeX. (See also Can I change all math output to use monospaced text? and How to change math font to monospace, only inside \texttt) – moewe Oct 20 '15 at 15:38
Ok, then please morph your comment to an answer. ;) – buhtz Oct 21 '15 at 09:20
@moewe Duplicate, or would you like to answer? – Torbjørn T. Nov 07 '15 at 21:45
