The SNAP Solution
An Innovative Math Assessment Tool for Grades K–8
Discover student numeracy assessment and practice (SNAP)—a practical approach to help classroom teachers evaluate number sense. With its simple and reliable method, K–8 math teachers can quickly implement SNAP in their daily teaching practices and ignite a sense of wonder and thinking for math in their students.
Benefits:
- Use the SNAP approach to help students learn number sense.
- Address each SNAP skill from kindergarten, primary, and intermediate teachers’ perspectives.
- Apply the SNAP method within the response to intervention model.
- Learn the five strands of mathematical proficiency aligned with each SNAP skill.
- Access templates and other resources.
