What 6th grade AASA math covers
The grade 6 blueprint has five reporting categories, and each count below is inside its range. Expressions and Equations has 15 questions: exponents, writing and evaluating expressions, equivalent expressions, one-step equations and inequalities. The Number System has 14: dividing fractions, multi-digit division, decimals, common factors and multiples, negative numbers and the four-quadrant plane. Ratios and Proportions has 10: ratios, unit rates and percent. Geometry has 4 and Statistics and Probability has 4. The state's item specifications keep the mode out of grade 6 statistics items, so no question here asks for one.
Grade 6 is the last grade with no calculator on AASA math. From grade 7 a scientific calculator is permitted on Math Unit 1 only.
Questions and answers
Is AzMERIT still the 6th grade test in Arizona?
It is the same line of tests with a new name. AzMERIT became AzM2 in the 2019-2020 school year and AASA in 2021-2022. Grades 3 to 8 take it in English language arts and mathematics.
How many questions are on 6th grade AASA math?
55: 27 in Math Unit 1 and 28 in Math Unit 2. 47 are scored, two more than in grades 3 to 5, and 8 are field-test questions. Each scored question is worth one point.
When is the AASA test in 2027?
The state's 2026-2027 overview gives April 12 to May 7, 2027 for computer-based reading and math units, and April 12 to 23, 2027 for writing and for every unit on paper.
What score is Proficient in 6th grade AASA math?
3629 to 3662 on the state scale. Partially Proficient is 3602 to 3628, and Highly Proficient starts at 3663. No percent of questions right is a pass.
