Maths Starters
The Number page at Popcorn Learning is designed to give students a strong foundation in number theory and arithmetic. Whether you're learning to add, subtract, multiply, or divide — or taking your first steps into decimals, percentages, and factors — this section has everything you need to build confidence and fluency. The content aligns with the UK curriculum for KS3 and KS4, making it a valuable resource for daily revision, homework help, or classroom support. Each lesson is broken down into bite-sized explanations, followed by interactive practice problems and gamified quizzes that make learning fun and memorable. The platform's clear visuals, animations, and instant feedback system help students understand not just how to do the maths, but why the methods work. The Number section also includes challenge questions and word problems that encourage deeper thinking and real-world application. Learners can earn points, unlock achievements, and track their growth — all while improving their numeracy skills. From mastering place value to exploring prime numbers, Popcorn Learning helps students build the essential skills they’ll need across all areas of maths. Teachers can assign specific number topics or use the quizzes as warm-up activities or assessments. With consistent practice and encouragement from Professor Pop, students can go from struggling with sums to smashing them confidently.
