Computational Assessment will be periodically conducted to determine if the increase in physical precision of movement and action correlates to an increase in precision of computational skills.

Specifically, in addition to computational mechanics, the Computational Assessment will look at abstraction, formation of analogies, formation of associations, relating symbols to concepts, and to manipulating symbols based on concepts, associations, abstractions and analogies. As a reference point we present some example illustrations below.

Abstraction. "Ball" is an abstract concept whereas tennis ball is a more specific concept. Abstraction is an essential component of computation in that it is necessary to see what is essential in an idea.

The idea of number is found in the figure below:

Having the student solve the first two equations and apply their knowledge to the third will test their level of abstraction.

Analogy. What do two things have in common structurally?
