MEI (Mathematics in Education and Industry) is an independent charity committed to improving mathematics education and is also an independent United Kingdom curriculum development body. Any income generated through its work is used to support the teaching and learning of mathematics.

History

MEI was founded in 1963. It received a grant from the Schools & Industry Committee of the Mathematical Association. In 1965 it produced its first exam, Additional Mathematics, then produced an A level course two years later. MEI's A-level exams were the first to include probability.

It was incorporated as a company on 18 October 1996.

Structure

Although independent, MEI works in partnership with many organisations, including the Government. MEI is a registered charity[1] with a board of directors and a small professional staff.[2]

Purpose

MEI exists to improve education in mathematics.

To achieve this, MEI deploys innovative approaches; works in collaboration with others; and uses its expertise to inform policy makers and stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • AS/A level Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Further Mathematics (Additional) (Published by OCR[3])
  • AS Level Statistics

  • Foundations of Advanced Mathematics (FAM) – a freestanding course
  • Introduction to Quantitative Methods (in association with OCR[4])
  • OCR MEI Level 3 Core Maths Qualifications (Level 3 Certificate in Quantitative Reasoning and Level 3 Certificate in Quantitative Problem Solving)[5]

Competitions

MEI organises an annual online competition called Ritangle[6] for teams of students of A level Mathematics, the International Baccalaureate and Scottish Highers. Questions are posted on the Integral website, with correct answers releasing a clue for the final question.
