How do you deal with MEP not having "answer key" for levels 4 and up?

We LOVE MEP and have used it since Reception.  It's so puzzle-oriented that I heavily rely on having an answer key to check work, rather than figuring out the problems myself.  But alas, there are no answers provided for level 4 and up, and the limited answers in the lesson plans aren't enough for me to quickly check work.  How do you make it work?  Wondering if there's a solution before giving up on MEP after level 3.

 

Thanks in advance!

I just go through and work them out.

As I make dd go through two pages a day without any instruction, then my marking keeps me on track at how she is doing. When she has it wrong we work it out together (therefore I teach), and sometimes neither of us can work it out. Those we sometimes share with smart friends, who are also sometimes stumped.

I'm fine with this, I figure these few really curly ones are the type that stretch us (both!).

I used  different programmes that had answer pages with elder dd and she or I marked them and without the working them out together it was much...less good. Particularly as she went up to higher levels.

I asked on the yahoo group, and they also said limited answers are in the lesson plans.  The "solutions" that I found under Teacher Support are for the 28 exercises in that same section, not for the problems in the student practice book.  Maybe I'm missing something!  I didn't see a password protected section for the answer key, would someone mind sending me the link to that page?
