Aim
In this course, students expand their individual basic knowledge in the scientific discipline of mathematics and gain an overview of the contents of the primary school curriculum. They acquire specific expertise in the subject-didactic structure of number ranges, oral, semi-written, and written arithmetic operations, spatial orientation, and the fundamentals of geometry as well as simple statistical representation possibilities for describing facts. The students create differentiating learning environments in order to meet all giftedness levels as far as possible.
Content
