Abstract
Martin Gardner has compared the concept of a mathematical group to the grin of the Cheshue Cat. “The body of the cat (algebra as traditionally taught) vanishes, leaving only an abstract grin. A grin implies something amusing. Perhaps we can make group theory less mysterious if we do not take it too seriously” (Gardner 1966). A game like “It's a SNAP” can be used to introduce mathematical groups and make them appear less mysterious. This mathematics manipulative allows students to play with the concepts of group theory and develop an understanding of modern algebra.
