The British-based Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP) is a comprehensive math program for grades K-12. This well-designed, integrated spiral math program develops math fluency using a wide variety of math activities that integrate concepts, rather than topic-based memorization and practice. MEP is designed for 4 days each week without need for additional practicing or memorizing beyond basic math facts.

Course Description: MEP is used in classrooms in England, structured as four weekly 45-minute classes for 35 weeks without additional homework. The course has been adapted for US homeschoolers and for the Homeschool Connections format. It includes lesson plans with answers and a student practice book.

The live sessions are not lectures; instead, the teacher introduces and guides the exercises as students develop methods to solve them both individually and as a class. The exercises start out very simply and gradually increase to gently bring students up to the next level of proficiency. Each lesson contains a wide variety of math "activities", so students apply developing skills in different situations. This builds math proficiency and fluency by developing the habit of working through math problems.

The recorded classes are 30 minutes. We go through the activities in the first lesson plan for that week except the three to five problems in the practice book - these are designed for students to complete individually during class (with class discussion after). This will reduce the 45-minute class to 30 minutes. Students complete the practice book problems as "homework" with parents assisting as needed.

Parents need to review the "homework" together with students as guided by the prompts in the lesson plan.
