WINNER: SEND Resource, Product & Service

SNAP Maths not only assesses their Maths skills, but also identifies their emotional response to Maths questions, which is important because Maths anxiety is a key barrier to student progress and this tool enables teachers to detect and address this issue more effectively.”

Why choose SNAP Maths?

  • Build a core profile of a learner

  • Reduce workload burden

  • Track progress

  • Empowering conversations with parents

  • Delivered by anyone

SNAP Maths helps you build a Mathematical profile of a learner with questionnaires, 10 online activities and four Fluency Booster activities:

  • 10 onscreen activities – five that assess Maths skills and five that assess cognitative skills that are linked to Maths learning. The online activities will identify a learner's Mathematical areas of improvement, including potential Maths learning difficulties such as dyscalculia, and their emotional response to Maths e.g. Maths anxiety.
  • Three questionnaires help gather information about a learner from three sources: the learner, the learner's parent or carer, and the teacher.
  • Follows the Assess-Plan-Do-Review model set out by the SEND Code of Practice 2014.

How does SNAP Maths work with Assess-Plan-Do-Review?

Assess - Identify pupils who are showing signs of maths learning difficulties/dyscalculia through 10 short on-screen activities and three questionnaires (pupil, parent-carer and teacher).

Plan - Generate a Core Profile and Questionnaire Profile to gain a holistic picture of a pupil's strengths and weaknesses.

Do - Assign Fluency Boosters (short on-screen practice sessions) and/or choose from a large bank of tailored school strategies).

Review - Monitor progress, including attitude and emotional response to maths, by re-assigning the questionnaires, or track progress using the Fluency Booster graphs, if assigned.
