Math intervention, writing intervention, neurobiology, and cognitive-based learning - Jonily Zupancic and Cheri Dotterer are sharing how to incorporate them into your classroom. Jonily is a secondary math teacher and instructional coach for math K-12. Cheri is an occupational therapist specializing in neurology-based treatment across the lifespan and a Strategy-based Interventionist. Jonily secretly calls Cheri her Lesson Plan Whisperer because Cheri is always in her head, reminding her of the foundations of development before academics begin. They met in 2018 and have been talking ever since. Together, they have discovered the Miracle Math Classroom. This classroom embeds all math standards from Kindergarten to twelfth grade, plus neuro-based interventions that improve proficiency and boost student engagement. Both gifted and learning support students thrive using the interventions they share, plus all students in between. Using cognitive enhancing techniques strategically placed in the lesson plan, students learn more and enjoy school more, and fewer students get removed from critical instruction for Tier Three Interventions. Jonily has discovered how to teach all Kindergarten through algebra math standards using twelve, that’s right, twelve Reference Tasks. They include the Pizza Problem, 120-Chart, Paper Folding, Making Rectangles, Quick Dots, Locker Problem, Jesse and Kay, Geoboard, Candy Problem, Paint Problem, Staircase, and the Function Machine. Cheri uses Body-Brain Anchors to ignite the flame inside everyone’s brain for learning. Whether a person is five or 90, her strategy-based interventions will ignite that flame. These Brain-Body Anchors include the Handstand Flip, Interlaced Bilateral Integration, and the Body Sentence Alphabet. Together, they connect the puzzle behind math instruction and instructional delivery alongside these cognitive-enhancing activities to maximize math education for all students. Join us live on the third Saturday of the month, sans July, for the math behind the Reference Task. Every live event is approximately 2.5 contact hours. The first 30-ish minutes become this podcast.

  • Why Division is More Foundational Than Addition

    Why Division is More Foundational Than Addition
    Sep 30 2025

    In this powerful Level 2 episode of the Mastery Math Method series, math specialist Jonily Zupancic takes us deeper into the strategy of reordering math instruction for maximum impact. She challenges conventional wisdom by declaring that division is not just a late skill, but essential, even for little ones and strugglers.

    You’ll learn how division-based instruction—centered on sharing, questioning, and visual grouping—can accelerate mastery of all operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication), reduce instructional time, and increase student memory through her CES framework: Culture, Essentials, and Seasons.

    🎯 Whether you're an OT, a special ed teacher, or a curriculum leader—this paradigm shift will change how you see math forever.

  • Teach Division First?!

    Teach Division First?!
    Sep 23 2025

    Why do we start math with addition when kids naturally understand sharing first?

    In this Level 2 Mastery Math Method training, Jonily Zupancic and Cheri Dotterer challenge the traditional math sequence by flipping the script: Start with Division.

    This episode dives into:

    • Why equal sharing is neurologically intuitive for students—even toddlers
    • How starting with division unlocks deeper understanding in addition, subtraction, and multiplication
    • Why special education teachers and general ed teachers alike need to rethink Tier 1 math instruction
    • What it means to “uplevel” your math teaching, even if you feel behind


    This session was recorded LIVE with our Mastery Math Method teachers—so you’ll hear real-time reactions, questions, and inspiration from fellow educators walking the same journey.


    🎯 Whether you're an OT, a special ed teacher, or a curriculum leader—this paradigm shift will change how you see math forever.
