Math Fluency
Math Fluency is a measure of how quickly and correctly you compute. Accuracy involves solving problems using an appropriate method by following the right steps in the right order to arrive at a correct answer. If you are accurate, then you know how to use the various methods available. You know how to use them, you know the steps you need to take, and you know the order in which you need to take those steps. Automaticity, can also be referred to as a reflex. Automaticity means that you have performed the mathematical operation so often that it's almost automatic for you.
