Student-friendly and motivating! The concept of the new Trio series for middle schools in Bavaria, Grade 5, ideally combines content from the subjects of history, politics, and geography. The core competencies, competency areas, and content outlined in the LehrplanPLUS for Bavarian middle schools are structured in a didactically and chronologically sensible way and presented in a layout that aligns with the reading habits of students. Special attention is given to student-friendly texts and a motivating, differentiated, and contemporary task culture. The new Trio series features a wide range of project- and action-oriented content. Additionally, numerous learning materials for independent practice, application, review, and deepening of knowledge are provided. The thoughtfully placed connections between historical contexts are also emphasized.
