Zur Irrationalität in der Schule

Irrational numbers are introduced usually already introduced in lower secondary level schools. But typically, maybe with the exception of $\sqrt{2}$, no mathematical proof of irrationality is provided. In particular it is not proven that famous Euler's number $e$ as well as the number $π$ are irrational. In this article we want to show how this can be done with very elementary methods from calculus. In addition, we offer geometrical variants for many of the analytical statements, which in particular create variability in the level of requirements. ----- Irrationale Zahlen werden in der Schule bereits in der Sekundarstufe I eingeführt. Allerdings wird typischerweise, mit Ausnahme vielleicht für $\sqrt{2}$, kein mathematischer Beweis zur Irrationalität geführt. Insbesondere wird nicht bewiesen, dass die berühmte Eulersche Zahl $e$ sowie die Kreiszahl $π$ irrationale Zahlen sind. In diesem Artikel wollen wir aufzeigen, wie dies mit recht elementaren Methoden der Analysis möglich ist. Darüber hinaus bieten wir für viele der analytischen Aussagen geometrische Varianten zur Veranschaulichung, die insbesondere Variabilität im Anspruchsniveau schaffen.
