Our kids are drowning in math failure — and it starts shockingly early. By grade 3, too many students already believe: “I’m just not a math person.”


The culprit?


Timed tests that reward speed over thinking, worksheets that kill curiosity, and assessments that feel like traps, not opportunities.


We’re creating a generation terrified of math.


The SNAP Solution flips the script:


- Math becomes a puzzle full of wonder

- Students show thinking in drawings, equations, and real-life examples

- Teachers see true understanding — not test anxiety


If we don’t change math assessment now, the crisis only gets worse.


Hear from authors of the book - The SNAP Snapshot - on why SNAP might be the lifeline we need on the most to reinvigorate Math teaching and learning.
