Mental Computation Fluency Assessment

The video tutorial discusses mental computation fluency as part of the AIMSweb Plus math battery for grades 2-5, with potential use up to grade 12. It explains the assessment's focus on mental problem-solving, its alignment with grade-level expectations, and the scoring method that accounts for guessing. The tutorial also covers the importance of combining this measure with number comparison fluency for progress monitoring, resulting in a number sense fluency score.
