Which specification do you teach?
Each section contains a standard set of resources, including:
Integral A level is designed to develop deep understanding and the skills students need to apply maths.
Integral is bursting with teaching ideas and activities to facilitate practice and understanding, and get students to discuss maths and work through problems together.
Exercises practise the hand-written maths skills they need for exams and beyond.
It’s also the ideal companion for independent learning.
These Integral resources are fully integrated with Hodder Education's Dynamic Learning eTextbooks.
I have found the videos invaluable, particularly when teaching Further Mathematics, in order to support my own understanding before teaching the students.
The additional teaching resources, including the group work activities and interesting starter activities that have supported our students in their understanding of the topics taught, are fantastic.
Staff and students alike have benefitted from using the Walkthroughs, with students able to access these from home in order to build their confidence. With the Large Data Sets, Integral has been the only place where we’ve found quality resources that we can pick up and use without having to tweak or produce our own.
Communication with the staff at Integral is also a massive plus for us. Whenever we have had issues or questions, they have responded quickly with explanations and have worked with us when there were details we weren’t sure about.
The teaching activities section for each topic is a gold mine. I love the links to GeoGebra tasks which allow us to explore concepts more deeply with students. I use the problem solving shorts as starters or intermittently through a lesson once a concept has been taught. The matching activities save time re-inventing the wheel, and we’ve found our students really engage with them, and like to compete with each other to be the best! In short – the resources allow us to plan more engaging and effective lessons in less time.
All students have their own accounts and we direct them to the notes and examples, walkthrough activities and skill packs during independent learning time. I like that we are able to track whether a student has accessed a resource or not. We use the level 1 exercises through teaching and build into the level 2 exercises either as part of the lesson or independent study. Having the solutions online is really valuable, as the students can see where they went wrong without having to seek out a member of staff. These practice questions supplement our textbook questions and later in the year can be used as revision. The level 3 exercises are great for stretch and challenge independent tasks and our top students really enjoy tackling these.
I love that Integral is a resource which develops the much needed skill of independence in our students. We set the topic assessments as end of topic homework tasks, and grade these to exam standard. I like the mix of questions, some are accessible to all and others are problem solving and pose more of a challenge. We track their results of these to help us monitor student progress throughout the year.
Finally, I find the tutor forum to be a brilliant place to ask and answer questions; collaborative working on a National level! We also use Integral for our Core Maths teaching and learning and our Level 2 Further Maths class – we await the updated version of this qualification with great anticipation for the new spec!
Integral resources enabled me to make statistics hands-on and practical for the students. Integral meant I could concentrate on delivery rather than creating lots of resources.
My students also use the section tests. The way Integral reports on them allows me to quickly identify any misconceptions my students might have.
Integral has been developed by experts at MEI.
MEI is an independent charity, committed to improving maths education. Our maths education specialists have considerable classroom experience and deep expertise in the teaching and learning of maths.
As a charity, MEI is able to focus on supporting maths education, rather than generating profit. That's why we're able to offer fantastic resources at a low price.
