FYI: Math worksheets in German


Recommended Posts

Found these german math worksheets. They use a dot for multiplication and two dots for division. They have for Klasse 1 to 8.

These too for Klasse 1 to 4 and includes word problems

I put this post in the bilingual board as some might find it fun for their kids to try out math worksheets in another language.

They do this in French math too.

 

The place where it can sometimes get tricky is that traditionally they use a comma where we use a decimal, and an apostrophe where we use a comma...

 

So instead of 2.5 it would be 2,5 and instead of 1,000.00 it is 1'000,00

 

Most of the time it is obvious but with some decimal calculations, it can end up causing problems...or confusion, esp in banking...

 

Do they have that in German too?

 

The system is slowly changing as international banking gets bigger...

Apparently Germany does that too with the comma but not with the apostrophe. Italy's style seems the same as Switzerland's from the wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
