Overview

Our case studies highlight the real-world impact of our work, showcasing success stories from schools, colleges, and organisations that have benefited from MEI’s support. They demonstrate how our initiatives drive positive change, inspiring and equipping students with the skills they need for the future.

“The course has been invaluable in building my knowledge, but more so confidence with the A level content. It had been 20 years since I’d visited some of these topics, and I felt a huge amount of intimidation starting to teach it.”

Participant TEACHING A LEVEL MATHEMATICS (TAM)

“We’ve done really well in admissions this year, and the course must have helped a lot!”

Samir Siksek ADMISSIONS TUTOR FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK

“What keeps maths teachers teaching? This sort of support, recognition and development.”

Maths Teacher STOKE-ON-TRENT MATHEMATICS EXCELLENCE PARTNERSHIP

“As someone at the start of my teaching career I’ve learned lots of new approaches to teaching these topics, ways of using manipulatives and interactive resources (particularly useful as I work in a specialist SEN setting) and ways of linking students’ existing skills and knowledge to newer concepts.”

Participant BATLEY GIRLS SCHOOL

“The workshop led me to thinking that as a teacher we can actually teach mathematics in a relational way rather than by rote learning.”

Participant UNDERGROUND MATHEMATICS

“I particularly like the quality of the resources and how they can be adapted and developed to suit the needs of different groups.”

Participant UNDERGROUND MATHEMATICS

“Problem-solving skills have steadily improved over time. Students now seem to attempt more of this style of questions showing improved resilience.”
