Snap Solution

Changing students' attitudes about math and assessing number sense begins with shifting the teacher's attitude and approach. Learn how the authors dispel the common myth that student apathy in mathematics class is inevitable. Math teachers can use the student numeracy assessment and practice (SNAP) approach to address the five strands of mathematical proficiency, promote thinking, and ignite a sense of wonder in their students.



K-8 teachers can utilize this book to: 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
