Awaken your child's curiosity with the numbers one to ten with SNAP:
Click here for SNAP

The purpose of SNAP is to help adults—at home or in the classroom—provide an environment (scaffolding) to help young children find numbers, their related patterns, and geometric shapes in the world all around them. 

Children will notice and connect with the numbers one to ten in ways that develop a sense of wonder, curiosity, and a keen eye for subtle detail. Once they develop a compelling relationship with numbers more engagement with math and science is credible. Observing numbers and patterns can impart a sense of order and inspire quiet observation and reflection; it can also lead to enthusiasm about the unknown.
