MEP (Mathematics Enhancement Programme) is a hidden gem in the homeschool world. Developed by mathematicians at the University of Plymouth, it offers a complete K–12 math curriculum entirely free. The approach is more European than American: it emphasizes understanding and proof over procedures, and moves faster in some areas than typical U.S. curricula. Lesson plans are detailed enough for a non-math parent to teach from. It requires more parent involvement than self-paced programs but produces strong mathematical thinkers. The lack of flashy design is the trade-off for being completely free and academically excellent.
