Mathematics Enhancement Programme

The Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP) is one of those hidden gems that many homeschoolers discover through word of mouth. Developed by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching in the UK, it offers a full, structured math curriculum from primary through early secondary, complete with teacher guides, practice books, and assessments—all freely downloadable. Lessons emphasize problem solving, mental math, and carefully sequenced exercises rather than scattered worksheets, giving kids a solid grounding in core concepts. Parents appreciate the clear daily plans and the fact that it’s entirely free, making it a powerful option for budget-conscious families willing to print or work from screens. MEP has a more traditional, school-style feel and can be dense, so some families choose to slow the pace or combine it with hands-on games. If you like structure and are comfortable adapting British references, it can carry a student a long way.
