Publisher's Synopsis
"As a math teacher, have you ever begun a lesson only to be met with groans, indifference, or avoidance? Have you ever looked across the hallway at your colleague's math classroom to see a room full of engaged and excited students and wonder what you're doing wrong? In The SNAP Solution: An Innovative Math Assessment Tool for Grades K-8, authors Kirk Savage, Jonathan Ferris, and Tom Hierck dispel the common belief that student apathy in math class is an inevitability.

In this research-packed guide, math teachers will use the SNAP method to ignite a sense of wonder in their students and leave days of frustration behind"--.
