CIMT Maths Resources and Answers



For a long time I have been a massive fan of the excellent CIMT website. It is jam-packed full of some of the most innovative resources around, for all ages and ability levels, and many of them come with outstanding levels of teacher support. Well, I am pleased to say that through my partnership with TES, the complete set of amazing resources from the Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP) are now available to download in handy topic areas.

There are truly exceptional resources that are available for the whole of Key Stage 3 and 4. All resources are levelled, and the "Special" level resources for GCSE are certainly suitable for A/S Level students who need algebraic and geometric concepts reinforcing.

Each unit contains a bundle of brilliant resources, jam-packed full of examples, notes and practice materials. The "Activities" sections are particularly useful to prepare students for the demands of the new GCSE by offering rich tasks and mini-projects, and the "Teaching Notes" sections provide fantastic historical backgrounds on the subjects being studied as well as highlighting key language and misconceptions.

As these resources are being hosted by TES. You will need to register with them first before you can download. This is completely free and takes about 1 minute.

The types of resources that comprise each topic area include the following:

Pupil Practice Book – textbook style activities complete with notes, examples and answers which are suitable for all ability levels.

Activities – ideas for rich tasks, projects, puzzles and group work, which come complete with notes and solutions.

Lesson Plans – a brief overview of the material that might be covered in the sequence of lessons, differentiated by level.

Mental Tests – a series of differentiated mental questions on the topic to quickly test and consolidate understanding.

Overhead slides – photocopiable resources used in the teaching of the topic.

Revision Tests – a series of differentiated end of unit tests to assess understanding complete with answers and mark schemes.

Teaching Notes – an overview of the unit, including Historical Background and Introduction, Teaching Points, Common Misconceptions, Key Language/Notation, Key Concepts and Applications. NOTE: Teaching Notes also provides guidance as to which parts of the topic are suitable for Standard, Academic, Express and Special groups.

Levelled Extra Exercises – textbook and exam style questions targeted at Standard/Academic and Express/Special groups, complete with answers.

Before you begin, I would strongly recommend downloading some of the General information as this gives an overview about how the course runs and the levels of difficulty.

Enjoy!

Please Note: The MEP GCSE course sheets is divided up into four ability levels: Standard, Academic, Express and Special.

Broadly speaking, Standard is equivalent to Foundation level, Academic are students who would have been entered for the old Intermediate tier and now would be borderline Foundation/Higher, Express is equivalent to Higher, and Special are Gifted and Talented mathematicians.

For a comprehensive breakdown of which particular parts of each unit need to be covered for each of these ability levels, please see the individual Teaching Notes files which have been uploaded with each unit.

2. Formulae
3. Angle Geometry

Entry Levelkeyboard_arrow_up
Back to Top

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. The Certificate course is for candidates in Y10 and Y11 who are unlikely to achieve a grade in GCSE Mathematics.

The bundle of resources for this Module is made up of the following:

Scheme of Work - this is a detailed scheme showing which topics should be covered and in what order.

Practice Book - these books provide plenty of exercises and worked examples based on the content of the Units in the Scheme of Work.

Case Studies - these are substantial sections of work which cover much of the content of the modules, but are optional. They have been designed for students to gain both motivation and confidence and can be used in conjunction with the more routine practice found in the Practice Books.

Overhead Slides - these copy masters can be used as OH slides or as worksheets copied for individual use, with teacher guidance.

Mental Tests - these tests are designed to support all the major topics covered where mental competence and agility are helpful.

Intermediate and Aural Tests - sample Intermediate and Aural Tests for each module, based directly on the question framework used in the WJEC tests. They come complete with mark schemes.
