Number Comparison Fluency Assessment

The video tutorial explains the Number Comparison Fluency Triads, a component of the math battery in AIMSweb Plus for grades 2-5, which can be extended to grade 12. It assesses students' ability to compare numbers within and across number systems. Students answer multiple-choice questions involving triads of numbers, determining which number is closer in value. The assessment is timed for three minutes, and scoring accounts for guessing to improve reliability. Progress monitoring combines this with mental computation fluency to form a number sense fluency score.
