About this Event

“How do occupational therapists support math?”

I used to feel lost when it came to helping students with math.

One day, a mom asked me to help her child understand fractions. I thought, Of course, I can handle this—I have a minor in math!

But I quickly realized... I couldn’t.

I had the knowledge but lacked the tools to teach math effectively.

That moment shook me. I knew I needed a better way.

A chance meeting with Jonily Zupancic six years ago changed everything. She opened my eyes to the intersection of math and occupational therapy.

She didn’t just show me math problems. She showed me how math works—how to simplify, adapt, and make it accessible for all students, all while staying true to the standards teachers rely on.



The Locker Problem: A Game-Changer for OTs and Teachers

It wasn’t until Jonily shared The Locker Problem with me that everything clicked.

This interactive math activity does more than teach concepts—it builds bridges between OTs and teachers, fostering collaboration. Here’s why it’s so powerful:

  • For OTs: Develop fine motor skills like in-hand manipulation and pincer grasp while incorporating visual and color recognition.
  • For Teachers: Address multiple math standards in a way that’s easy to transform into a Formative Assessment.
  • For Students: A fun, engaging warm-up that activates both the brain and body, making learning memorable.

And guess what? It’s simple to set up and incredibly versatile.



Extend the Magic: The 120-Chart and Paper Folding

The 120-Chart

Uncover number patterns with this hands-on tool, which helps students develop spatial awareness and numerical relationships. Adapt it for counting, skip counting, or exploring prime numbers—the possibilities are endless.

Paper Folding

Turn a simple sheet of paper into a math powerhouse! Explore fractions, time, money, and distance, all while reinforcing fine motor skills.

Plus, these three interventions work together and revolutionize students’ math understanding.
