Mathematics Enhancement Programme The Mathematics Enhancement Programme has been principally funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, but with contributions from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Esso, the Esmée Fairbairn Charity, Corus and the Garfield Weston Foundation. It was started in September 1995 and a full account of its origins and rationale is available from here. |

MEP Resources and the New Two-Tier Mathematics GCSE (1st August 2006) Since the announcement of the new two-tier Mathematics GCSE commencing in September, we have had many inquiries from teachers as to whether we would be making amendments to our GCSE schemes of work and resources. We have now studied the specifications from the main exam boards for the new two-tier course and have decided NOT to change the current GCSE schemes of work or Pupil Text materials. This is because we feel that
i) The current Standard/Academic route covers the specifications for the Foundation tier and the Express/Special
route covers the specifications for the Higher tier. However, we are updating all of the Practice Books with new GCSE questions as and when we require reprints of these books. The updates will also be available online. The new GCSE questions have been taken from AQA, Edexcel and OCR 2005 past papers and specimen papers for the new two tier GCSE course. The first Practice Book to be updated is the 7-12 Express/Special. |

MEP and IPMA tests available on-line (27 July 2006) The Centre has now made online versions of all the IPMA primary tests and several of the MEP secondary tests. Pupils can take these tests using most web browsers, and their work is immediately marked. Results are displayed at the end of the test and also submitted to our own database for research purposes. The IPMA tests 4, 5 and 6 are also now available in shorter parts to bring them into line with the original paper versions of the tests. Tests 4 and 5 have two 40 minute sections and test 6 has three 40 minute sections. Complete versions of each of these tests are also still available.
