Intensive course in 5th grade, German and mathematics,

May 2025-July 2025

Optimal preparation for 6th grade: intensively deepening German and mathematics

Our advanced course for 5th grade offers targeted support in the subjects of German and mathematics.

In German, your child will strengthen knowledge of tenses (present tense, past tense, perfect tense, pluperfect tense, future tense) and expand their knowledge of important grammatical terms such as modal verbs, verb additions and participles. Vocabulary building and spelling (e.g. nominalisations, ‘das/dass’, ‘wider/wieder’) are also specifically trained. In addition, essay training is intensified: your child learns to write structured, exciting essays.

In mathematics, your child will strengthen their basic written operations and automate mental arithmetic. They will become more confident in dealing with fractions and learn how to convert them into decimal numbers. Furthermore, solving text tasks is practised intensively – so your child will be able to extract mathematical tasks from texts and solve them correctly.

She definitely benefited a lot! <em>From our side, we can highly recommend porta mundi AG</em>"

"Our son has been attending the Gymi preparation course at porta mundi since last summer. He enjoys going to class every time and really appreciates the positive learning atmosphere and working in small groups. The learning material is highly comprehensive and professionally developed. Both the theory and practice sections of the materials are very well structured and enable the children to learn independently. Mrs Basler regularly takes the time to discuss our son's learning situation and individual needs. We would always choose porta mundi again for further courses/lessons."
