The same school report, the notes on mathematics (the child is five years old). I'm struggling with the term in asterisks, all help appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

English translation:quantitative concepts
Explanation:
Since "quantity" is one translation of "Menge", this would seem OK. "Mengenlehre" is "set theory", but I think "set-theoretic concepts" might be pushing things a bit for a five-year-old. Russell's Paradox? Axiom of Choice?
