A math spinner is a playful way to make math practice exciting while improving focus and fine motor skills.

Perfect for classrooms, therapy sessions, or at-home learning, it’s a tool kids will want to use.
What is a Math Spinner?
A math spinner is a circular learning tool with a rotating arrow in the center that points to numbers or math problems. Kids spin the arrow, then solve the problem it lands on. Our spinner has two sides: one for addition and subtraction, and another for multiplication and division—offering multiple ways to practice math facts.
How Does a Math Spinner Help Kids Learn?
A math spinner boosts engagement by turning learning into a game. Instead of repetitive worksheets, kids actively participate, which helps improve retention and recall of math facts. Spinners also encourage hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, and focus—skills that benefit both academics and daily activities.
Can Math Spinners Be Used in Occupational Therapy?
Yes. Occupational therapists often use math spinners to combine cognitive learning with motor skills practice. Spinning the arrow requires grip strength, bilateral coordination, and visual tracking, while solving problems strengthens memory and problem-solving skills. This dual focus supports both educational and therapeutic goals.
