BW Mathematik Sek II: HE Coverage Audit

Date: 2026-05-07

This note documents the fachliche control audit behind the Baden-Wuerttemberg upper-secondary mathematics source extraction. It explains why the BW Kursstufe has fewer extracted source goals than Hessen Sek II without treating every Hessen-only canonical target as a BW mapping gap.

Scope

Inputs:

  • BW official source extraction: curricula/DE/Gymnasium/input/BW/upper-secondary/source-extraction/DE_BW_MATHEMATIK_SEKII_BP2016.source-extraction.json
  • BW M3 review file: curricula/DE/Gymnasium/mapping/DE-BW/upper-secondary/bw_math_upper_secondary_source_extraction_to_canonical_math.review.json
  • canonical mathematics graph: curricula/DE/Gymnasium/canonical/DE_DEU_S_GYM_CANONICAL_MATHEMATIK.de.json
  • local audit generator: tmp/audit-he-bw-sekii-gaps.mjs

The comparison starts from canonical Sek-II atomics that are covered by Hessen Sek II and not covered by expanded BW Sek-II mappings.

Result

Category Count Decision
Stage shift to BW Sek I or Kursstufen prerequisite 78 Not a BW Kursstufe M3 gap
Not explicit in BW BP2016 33 Do not map to BW without additional official evidence
Manual remainder 0 No unresolved fachliche rest category

Total Hessen-covered canonical Sek-II atomics not covered by expanded BW Sek-II mappings: 111.

Stage-Shift Interpretation

The 78 stage-shift cases are not open BW Kursstufe mappings. They are mostly:

  • 48 Hessen E-phase foundations that BW places before the Kursstufe or treats as prerequisites
  • 26 foundational stochastics goals that BW places in Sek I
  • 4 additional Q4-adjacent fundamentals that are not Kursstufe-specific BW gaps

These goals may still be visible through BW Sek-I or prerequisite surfaces, but they should not be forced into the BW Sek-II source extraction.

Not-Explicit BW Delta

The 33 accepted curriculum deltas are:

Group Count Decision
Differential equations and direction fields 4 Not found in BW BP2016 Kursstufe wording
Explicit combinatorics specializations 3 Not derived from generic probability wording
Advanced stochastics, intervals, tests, Poisson, normal approximation 11 Not explicit enough in BW BP2016
Function-family specializations 8 Not derived from generic function-family wording
Advanced test decision from power-function graphs 1 Not explicit enough in BW BP2016
Complex numbers and matrices 6 Not BW Kursstufe content in BP2016

Operational rule: these targets stay canonical where other jurisdictions support them, but BW Sek II does not receive synthetic M3 coverage for them.

Pipeline Consequence

For BW Sek II, MAPPING-2 and MAPPING-3 are allowed to complete when every official BW source goal is extracted, reviewed, and mapped. The HE/BW audit is a cross-curriculum plausibility check, not a requirement that BW reproduce every Hessen Sek-II target.

The visible quality metric must therefore distinguish:

  • source-internal completeness: all official BW source goals are handled
  • cross-state curriculum delta: which canonical Hessen-covered targets are not explicitly present in BW
