carrierocha Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Up through Year 8, MEP includes detailed lesson plans that hae been fabulous in guiding me as I have instructed my kids in math. However, starting in Year 9 I don't see detailed lesson plans on their website. I did email the staff at MEP (they have been responsive in the past), but am wondering if anyone here is aware of any resources - made by MEP or someone else - that could serve as that type of detailed lesson plan?

A.M. Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I have only looked at materials for year 9-11. These are addressed to the student. Do you think a detailed lesson plan would still be necessary? Interested to hear what other users think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 There are Lesson Plans for Year 9 (here is a link to the Lesson Plan for Unit 1 of Year 9), but the lesson plans for the upper years as just not as scripted as the lower years. It does tell you what to do for each lesson--OS means overhead slide to teach with, PB=practice book, etc. It's not as scripted in the lesson plans the because most of the direct teaching is in the student books (the practice books).

carrierocha Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yes, I am aware of those Outline Lesson Plans, but up through and including Y8 they also have these detailed lesson plans: https://www.cimt.org.uk/projects/mepres/book8/y8s17lpd.pdf I would like something like this that scripts lessons for Y9.

Zoo Keeper Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I see the difference between the two... I am not aware of detailed lesson plans anywhere on the MEP site for the upper years. Would be nice, though!

I hadn't quite thought about the materials as self-directed, but maybe that's because I have always instructed some (aka followed MEP's lesson plans - although I certainly skip a lot nd move at our own pace). I am just not as sooth or adept as they are and I am looking for some practical input on guiding a student through this material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrierocha Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 In browsing by topic, I have found the the MEP Jamiaca books have more complete student instructions and these books go a long way at introducing the concepts in ways similar to what the lesson plans do. I may make a doc that aligns the Y9 concepts with these and maybe just use the Jamiacan materials (?) or use the front matter for each concept. https://www.cimt.org.uk/mepjamaica/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether more detailed instructions are needed though. Maybe others who have used the higher levels, levels 9-11, can comment whether they found the instructions that are directed to the student in the worktext sufficient for their student to work with...
