Elementary school, with an adult
In elementary school, prepare material for studying together.
Want to help a child go back over a lesson without giving them the answers? Start from what was done in class. This page is for the adult who prepares and checks the material; the session with the child can be done orally or on paper, without any direct use of generative AI.

How to organize this work
Pick a goal within reach
A session can cover one times table, a few words or a rule already seen. Reread the instruction in the notebook and keep the teacher's vocabulary. A new explanation that is too abstract can add confusion where a hands-on activity or a drawing is enough.
Prepare, then reread the questions
In your own Fichea space, material whose content you can use can help prepare a sheet and some ideas for questions. Check every answer, remove personal information and choose wording suited to the child. You remain responsible for the material you keep.
Let the child figure it out
Ask a question, leave time to answer, then ask how they found it. If they get stuck, go back to the lesson's example with a drawing or objects. Come back to a point another time instead of stretching the session until they're tired.
A session on multiplication
- The adult rereads the lesson's example and picks a single times table.
- The child shows equal groups with objects or a drawing.
- The adult asks a question and asks the child to show the groups.
- Another question takes up the same idea with a different number.
Watch the reasoning and the hesitations. A recited answer doesn't always show that the child understands the groups.
Example to do together
There are 4 boxes with 3 pencils in each. How many pencils are there? Show how you count.
Read the explanation
12 pencils: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12, or 4 × 3. You can draw the four boxes to connect the calculation to the situation.
A preparation tool for the adult
The ministerial framework provides for AI awareness in elementary school without pupils directly handling generative AI. Fichea is not presented here as a standalone account for a child or as an application officially approved for the classroom.

Questions about this path
Do I need to create an account for the child?
This path doesn't require a child account. The adult prepares the material in their own space and supports the session. Check the terms of service and the school's instructions before any other use.
Can the cards replace the notebook exercises?
They can be used to ask a few questions about the lesson. The exercises, reading, writing and hands-on activities the teacher assigns are still needed.
Choose a first material
Start with content you can check. Imported documents remain your starting point; AI answers can contain errors. The plans and their limits, the terms of use and the privacy policy are available to read before you create an account.
