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.
