Frequently asked questions
How can I prepare my child for middle school (6e)?
Consolidate the basics used everywhere in middle school: fractions and decimals, proportionality, long division, conjugation and agreements. Train them to read long instructions and to organise themselves (timetable, school bag); the weekly planner on the site can help. A few regular minutes beat last-minute revision.
Which worksheets does the site offer for fifth grade (CM2)?
In math: fractions, decimals down to hundredths, proportionality (rule of three, percentages), column arithmetic including division by a two-digit number, measurements, geometry and word problems. In English: spelling, vocabulary (language registers) and reading comprehension; in French: conjugation (with the pluperfect and conditional) and grammar.
Does this curriculum match official school programs?
Yes, the term-by-term progression follows the broad outline of the French national curriculum and works as a useful benchmark for families anywhere. You can adapt the pace to your child's needs.
What if my child is ahead of or behind this curriculum?
This guide is a benchmark, not a requirement. If your child moves faster, feel free to check out the next level. If they need more time on a topic, revisit the previous term's worksheets without pressure.
