Abstract
The conception of “Practice Orientated Mathematics Education” used here as basis has the goal to undergo mathematics as tool for problems of everyday world. It was developed about thirty-five years ago (see e.g. Graumann 1976, 1977 and 1987). The main objective was to provide information on the relevance of mathematics in everyday life and to allow people to see mathematics as a tool that allows us to master problems in everyday life.
