ORDERING PRINTED MATERIALS Please follow the link below for details of how to order our published MEP material. https://www.cimt.org.uk/projects/mep/orders.htm
SCHOOL CURRICULUM MATERIALS Click on the underlined links to access the detailed material for each part of the MEP course
Primary Key Stage 1 Key Stage 2	Year R to Year 6 Course Material The primary material includes a full Mathematics scheme of work for pupils in Reception through to year 6 (ages 5-11). For each year there are practice books, detailed lesson plans, and copy masters to be used in lessons, as well as general information about the Primary MEP project. NEW Adapted version of Year 1 for use in South Africa Course Material The MEP Year 1 pupil material translated into two South African languages, Sesotho and Setswana, which is being used in schools in North West Province. Spanish Language version of Year 1 to Year 4 Course Material The MEP primary material translated into Spanish and has implemented successfully in a school in Chile. Year 3 | Year 3 Revision | Year 4 | Year 5 Interactive Material These pages contain interactive mateial relating to sections of the Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 schemes of work. The Year 3 resources are interactive versions of the Practice Book pages and of every fifth page of the 3a practice book, which are intended for reviewing the material covered in the earlier pages. The Year 4 resources are interactive versions of the Practice Book pages. The Year 5 resources are probability simulations relating to specific activities in the Y5 lesson plans. These materials are still being developed.
Secondary Key Stage 3	Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 Course Material The key stage 3 material includes a full Mathematics scheme of work for pupils in years 7 to 9 (ages 11-14). The core materials for each year group are the pupil texts, lesson plans, teaching notes, overhead slides, diagnostic tests and revision tests. Also included are extra exercises and activities, mental tests and practice book answers. The Y7 and Y8 materials also include more detailed lesson plans. Some general information about how MEP and the Numeracy Strategy work together including tables to generate National Curriculum levels from MEP tests are available.      MEP KS3 Resource Picker Prototype version still under testing Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 Interactive Material These pages contain interactive tutorials for sections in the Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 schemes of work. These are designed for pupils who have missed a lesson or done badly in a test, and need to get an introduction to (or reminder of) a particular topic. They are intended for situations where a Maths specialist is not immediately available to help the pupil. They have also been used with some success in homeschooling situations and with interactive whiteboards in schools. The material covered in a particular interactive tutorial closely matches with the corresponding text book section. These materials are still being developed.
Secondary Key Stage 4	GCSE Course Material The MEP GCSE course consists of 19 core units and an optional 20th unit on Statistics. The pupil books are available in printed form and online. There are detailed schemes of work for four different levels of ability. There is teacher support material for each unit (only available online). There is also a GCSE Revision Pack, a Handling Data pack (including coursework guidance), and an optional additional unit on proof (all only available online). WJEC Entry Level Certificate Course Material (formerly CoEA) This material was developed as part of the MEP Demonstration Project to support the Welsh Exam Board's Certificate of Educational Achievement in Mathematics. This certificate is now known as the Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics (see the WJEC site for more information). The Certificate course is for candidates in Y10 and Y11 who are unlikely to achieve a grade in GCSE Mathematics. As such, it is designed so that candidates can achieve some success. The material includes two practice books and teacher support material, including teaching notes, overhead slides, mental tests and revision tests.
Secondary Key Stage 4/5	Step-Up to A-Level - Interactive Transition Material This material is for students who have completed their GSCE Maths course and are about to start A-Level Maths. It is intended to help prepare students for the "step up" to A-Level Maths by ensuring they have a good grasp of the knowledge and skills they have already developed at Higher GCSE level.
Secondary Key Stage 5	A-Level Course Material The A-Level course is still under development but will eventually consist of resources that can be used in conjunction with the syllabuses of the main examination boards. The branches of mathematics covered by the course are Pure/Core Mathematics, Mechanics, Statistics and Decision Mathematics. NEW Core Maths Subject Support We provide here resources for the main topic areas covered in each of the exisiting Level 3 Mathematics qualifications known collectively as Core Maths. For each unit there are text exercises with answers plus interactive exercises for use by both teachers and students. We also have a full online assessment package for self certification in Core Maths Subject Knowledge.

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. ii)  We envisage yet further changes to the GCSE Mathematics course and will consider amendments to our      resources once these changes have been confirmed. 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.
