How to use the assessment

Ideally your child works through the sheet alone and calmly, just like a test at school. Afterwards you check it together using the answer sheet. More interesting than the score is which type of task is not yet secure.

The assessment works well as a check a few days before a test or after the holidays, to see what has stuck. If your child does the sheet again a few weeks later, you can see the progress in black and white.

Maths in grades 5 and 6

In grades 5 and 6 maths becomes more abstract. Fractions are at the centre: recognising and calculating parts, showing fractions with models and on the number line, mixed numbers and unit fractions. Decimals and percentages follow, as well as the order of operations with brackets, rounding and estimating with large numbers and, in geometry, reflection symmetry, reflecting in a coordinate grid, point and rotational symmetry.

The content follows the Swiss Lehrplan 21 curriculum. Exactly when a topic is covered depends on the canton, the school and the textbook.
