Popcorn Math FAQ
Everything parents, schools, and presenter candidates need to know about our hands-on maths fun programme.
👨👩👧 For Parents & Guardians
What exactly is Popcorn Math?
Popcorn Math is an in-person, hands-on after-school maths programme on Anguilla for primary school children (Grades 1 to 5). It is NOT an online course and NOT exam prep. Children meet in a classroom to build tactile projects like 3D shapes and solve math puzzles with manipulatives.
What do children take home?
Every single week, each child takes home an item they personally built during the session (such as a 3D geometric tetrahedron, a cube, or a mathematical craft) to share proudly with family.
How long is a series, and what are the fees?
A Popcorn Math series runs 8 to 10 weeks within the primary school term, meeting for 1 hour weekly. Fees are paid per series and will be confirmed with parents upon registration enquiry.
When and where will sessions begin?
The first run is an inaugural pilot planned for January at the founder's primary school, with future rollout planned across all six primary schools on Anguilla.
🏫 For Schools & Principals
What does our school need to provide?
Participating schools provide a classroom space for 1 hour each week and session confirmation. Popcorn Math supplies all student materials packets, finished demo models, and trained independent presenters.
Can our school's teachers serve as presenters?
Yes! The ideal presenter is a teacher at that school, as the classroom and familiarity with the children are already in place. Teachers receive session pay and an attendance bonus.
👩🏫 For Presenters (18+)
What are the requirements to become a presenter?
Presenters must be adults aged 18 or older. School teachers, educators, and enthusiastic 18–19 school leavers are welcomed. Background checks are required, and all presenters adhere to our strict Code of Conduct.
How does presenter payment work?
Independent presenters are paid per completed session and earn an attendance bonus if they lead every session in a series. Payments are verified against accurate session attendance records.
Do I need to design the lesson activities?
No! Popcorn Math supplies complete materials packets and arrives with a finished demonstration model crafted by founder Teacher Cassie. The presenter guides the children through assembling their own models.
