Numbers in Base Ten has 15: place value, powers of 10, rounding decimals, multi-digit multiplying and dividing, and decimal arithmetic. Fractions has 15: unlike denominators, fractions as division, multiplying, scaling, and dividing with unit fractions. Algebraic Thinking has 3, one on prime factors. Measurement and Data has 8 and Geometry 4.

Questions and answers

Is there still an AzMERIT test for 5th grade?

Yes, under a new name. The state's technical report says AzMERIT was renamed AzM2 beginning in 2019-2020 and AzM2 was renamed AASA beginning in 2021-2022. Arizona 5th graders take AASA in English language arts and mathematics each spring.

How many questions are on the 5th grade AASA math test?

53, in two units of 27 and 26. 45 are scored, one point each, and 8 are field-test questions that do not count. Some are multiple choice and some are technology-enhanced, such as equation editor and gap match.

How long is the AzMERIT math test for 5th grade?

AASA is untimed. The state estimates 60 to 85 minutes for each of the two math units, and a unit must be finished on the school day it is started.

What is a passing score on 5th grade AASA math?

The state sets no percent to pass. A scale score falls in one of four performance levels. For grade 5 math, Proficient is 3595 to 3634 and Highly Proficient is 3635 to 3688.

Where is the state's own AZ Merit practice test for 5th grade?

It is now the AASA Sample Test. The item specifications give the way in: home.testnav.com, then Arizona, then Mic Check and Sample Tests.
