Kontext: Contrary to popular opinion, mathematics is about simplifying life, not complicating it. A child learns a bag of candies can be shared fairly by counting them out: That is numeracy. She abstracts that notion to dividing a candy bar into equal pieces: arithmetic. Then, she learns how to calculate how much cocoa and sugar she will need to make enough chocolate for fifteen friends: algebra.
„Unser Leben ist voller Details. Vereinfachen, vereinfachen.“
„Im Leben geht es darum, Spaß zu haben.“
„Das höchste Leben ist Mathematik.“
