Abstract	Students are familiarised with the subjects taught at high-school level I (the first three years of the full-length high school, or the first year of the reduced-length high school). The central contents of geometry, arithmetic and algebra, and also written mathematical problems are explained.
Learning objective	In the teaching given at high-school level I (the first three years of the full-length high school or the first year of the reduced-length high school), central concepts and approaches adopted in mathematics are introduced and observed in greater depth. These include variables, function, proof. This calls for a careful didactic analysis on the part of the teacher, requiring them to study and reflect on the prerequisites for the pupils and the requirements in terms of mathematics and cognitive psychology.
Content	Beispiele von Schülerarbeiten geben in diesem Seminar einen Einblick in die mathematische Denkwelt der Schülerinnen und Schüler. Vielfältige Aufgaben zum Einsatz im Unterricht werden vorgestellt, selber gelöst und diskutiert. - Arithmetik und Algebra: Zahlbereiche, Form und Inhalt in der Algebra - Geometrie: Konstruieren-Berechnen-Beweisen, dynamische Geometrie (Geogebra). - Sachrechnen: Funktionsbegriff, mathematische Modellierung. - Aktuelle mathematikdidaktische Aspekte wie Lernprozesse, Grundvorstellungen, Kompetenzen, offene Aufgaben.
Lecture notes	Zahlreiche begleitende Unterlagen werden abgegeben.
Prerequisites / Notice	Seminar mit Übungen
