The 'Mathehaus', a visual representation of interconnected mathematical competencies for primary education.

On Wednesday, September 30th, the Autonome Hochschule Ostbelgien (AHS) introduced the 'Mathehaus', an innovative educational resource aimed at clarifying the relationships between mathematical competencies.

This new approach is designed to assist teachers, from kindergarten through primary school, in better understanding how various mathematical skills are interconnected and develop over the school years. The 'Mathehaus' visually represents these connections, structured like a timber-framed house where each competency is an integrated part.
During the presentation, attendees gained practical insights into the 'Mathehaus' structure and its potential classroom applications. The tool provides a comprehensive overview of mathematical learning, aiding lesson planning and student progress assessment.
Developed by AHS educators Catherine Schnackers, Marie-Christine Hoeven, and Caroline Tillmanns, the 'Mathehaus' is not an additional textbook but a guide to help teachers focus on the long-term development of mathematical skills and contextualize individual learning content.
A printed version of the 'Mathehaus' can be purchased, and a digital version is accessible online.
