Identify specific barriers to Maths learning, including maths anxiety, and access targeted strategies to support your learners. For ages 6–16.
Maths learning difficulties can be caused by cognitive factors, maths anxiety, or a combination of both. SNAP Maths goes beyond curriculum-based Maths assessments to examine the underlying factors contributing to under-performance to help direct where support may be needed.
Identify any specific barriers to Maths learning (including Maths anxiety), highlighting learners' strengths and weaknesses, gaining further insights into difficulties and access a bank of targeted teaching strategies so the right support can be put in place.
Why choose SNAP Maths?
Understand your learners' needs
SNAP Maths helps you build a profile of a learner with 10 interactive activities and three optional questionnaires:
- 10 short on-screen activities – five that assess numerical skills and five that assess cognitive skills that are key for Maths learning.
- Three questionnaires support the activities and help build a holistic picture of why a learner might be struggling with maths and whether they are experiencing maths anxiety. There is a Teacher Questionnaire, Parent/Carer Questionnaire and a Pupil Questionnaire.
- The Core Profile gives an overview of a learner’s results for each of the ten activities as standardised scores for fluency and accuracy. The Questionnaire Profile reports the questionnaire outcomes, including the learner’s emotional response to Maths.

What schools think about SNAP Maths
SNAP Maths is a game-changer... not only do the assessments pinpoint exactly which underlying skills need to be developed, the fluency boosters provide the means to deliver that support on a self-service basis which can be at school or home
Thomas Mills High School Deputy Head of MathematicsThe pupils enjoyed using the program and were never reluctant to log on at the start of each session... We would recommend SNAP-Maths to other schools. It helps secure the basic maths knowledge that provides the foundations for future mathematical learning.
Seamer & Irton Community Primary School SENCOSNAP Maths provides a way of assessing a number of children quickly over a range of key skills. It requires the children to show their understanding independently.
Trialist Boarshaw Primary SchoolSNAP has had a clear impact on the progress of students who are using it. Its assessment tool that breaks down the different areas of mathematical ability is extremely helpful in identifying specific areas of need... SNAP Maths is an integral part of our approach to improving maths at the school.

How does SNAP Maths work with Assess-Plan-Do-Review?
Assess - Identify pupils who are showing signs of maths learning difficulties 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 to support learners.
Review - Monitor progress using the Fluency Booster graphs (if assigned), or re-assign the questionnaires to measure changing attitudes to Maths.
Questionnaires
Take a triangulated approach and gather information from the teacher, parent/carer and the learner. Responses build a Questionnaire Profile, further detailing the learner's abilities and their emotional response to Maths.Fluency Boosters
Fluency Boosters provide intensive practice in Counting, Comparing numbers, Subitising and Number relations. Questions adapt to learners, getting harder as fluency improves and tracking progress over time. Sessions are self-guided and last for five minutes, ideally three to four times a week.Information Sheets
Information Sheets provide overviews of each difficulty in SNAP Maths, explanations of how it may present in classroom, the impact on maths learning and further reading. These help teachers understand their learner's specific needs and how they can help.Home Reports
Editable Home Reports help to explain a learner's difficulties to their parents/carers. Reports include an overview of the difficult and how it may affect their child's maths learning, as well as Home Strategies and activities.School Strategies
Once maths difficulties are identified, choose from a bank of 34+ targeted School Strategies to support individual learners and groups.
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.”
