MEI’S PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES

We conduct a wide range of work to support maths education.

We run national government and privately-funded programmes to provide essential teacher professional development and other maths education support for schools and colleges. In addition, we develop high quality maths resources for schools, hold a popular annual conference for maths educators, run respected national maths competitions, engage in innovative development projects, and many more areas of work.

“The AMSP’s resources have transformed the way I approach teaching maths, making it more engaging for my students.”

Teacher ADVANCED MATHEMATICS SUPPORT PROGRAMME

“It’s particularly great to have Integral as it currently is a wonderful place to direct students for revision; it’s well-organised, has supporting notes/examples, and different levels of practice question, meaning that it’s ideal for us to suggest as a ‘go to’ place to build up topic-by-topic familiarity; thank you! ”

Teacher INTEGRAL

“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

“We look around for other A Level resources each year, but nothing has been found that’s a better resource for EdExcel than Integral. Integral reduces marking by 4 hours every 2 weeks per class compared to other non-resourced subjects.”

Kings Priory School HEAD OF MATHS

“I have improved my personal maths knowledge and feel I can combine this with the concept of multiple representations to explain subjects to students.”
