Abstract: Abstract In Germany, high school starts with grade 5. In grades 5 and 6 about one hour per week is devoted to intuitive geometry. The aim is to develop the geometric intuition of the child and to familiarize him with many important geometrical concepts. The course appears somewhat unsystematic, since it consists of a great number of geometrical activities which are supposed to develop various intellectual and manual skills. In grade 7 there is a gradual transition to a more systematic development of geometry.
