MEP Material. Centre for Innovation in mathematics Teaching

A huge bank of written materials. Books on line. I’m not claiming that there is anything earth shattering here, but it does give some useful back ground ideas to each topic, along with some possible teaching resources. Each topic includes:

Outline lesson plans, Teaching notes, activities, detailed lesson plans, Overhead Slides, Mental tests, Practice Book Answers, Revision test, Extra Exercises. All down loadable for wide range of topics.

Year 7 material

This material is aimed at able year 7 students in the UK. However, I think it would be suitable for average or below average students in year 9 in NZ

Year 10 and 11 material

These years are covered in a different format. Students in these years in the UK are preparing for GCSE. There are three different formats for the material here: They are Pupil Text book, Units (1-6) Practice Book (standard/academic) and Units (1-6) Practice Book Express/ special. Each book covers virtually the same topics but in later topics the standard/academic books misses out some topics.

Topics covered

Units (1-6)

Indices

Formulae

Angle Geometry

Trigonometry

Probability

Number System

Units (7- 12)

Mensuration

Data handling

Data Analysis

Equations

Fraction/Percentages

Number Patterns

Units (13- 19)

Graphs

Loci/Transformations

Variation

Inequalities

Using Graphs

3-D Geometry

Vectors
