AzM2 Math Practice
Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment. AzM2 is built on standards derived from Common Core. Briveli's CC-aligned curriculum covers the same skills.
Spring (mid-March through late April)
Computer-based
No calculator allowed in grades 3-5. Grades 6-8 have a calculator-permitted section using the embedded online calculator (four-function in grade 6, scientific in grades 7-8).
Four performance levels: Minimally Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, Highly Proficient
About the AzM2
Arizona's statewide math test is the AzM2, short for Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment. The test was renamed from AASA in 2024 (and from AzMERIT before that) but the underlying blueprint is unchanged: it measures the Arizona Mathematics Standards, the state's 2016 rewrite of the Common Core. AzM2 is given to all public-school students in grades 3 through 8, plus a high-school end-of-course battery. The math test is delivered online through Pearson's TestNav platform; a paper accommodation form is available on request through the district test coordinator.
AzM2 reports four performance levels — Minimally Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, and Highly Proficient — and the state defines Proficient as the on-grade-level bar used for federal accountability and the A-F school letter grades. Each math test runs roughly 75 to 90 minutes and is split into two sessions: a non-calculator session and, beginning in grade 6, a calculator-allowed session using the embedded TestNav calculator. Family score reports are released through ADEConnect and include sub-claim performance in Concepts & Procedures, Problem Solving & Data Analysis, and Communicating Reasoning.

AzM2 FAQ
What changed when AASA became AzM2?+
The 2024 rename to AzM2 was a branding update. The test still measures the Arizona Mathematics Standards, still has the same four performance levels, and still runs in the spring on Pearson TestNav. Score reports issued before 2024 will read AASA or AzMERIT.
When are AzM2 results released?+
Preliminary scores are typically available to districts within two to three weeks of testing. Family score reports are mailed home in the early fall, with statewide aggregate results published by the Arizona Department of Education by late summer.
