How it works, in short
TaleemSquare AASA math tutoring is live, one-to-one online help for Arizona students in grades 3 to 8 preparing for Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment in math. A tutor works on the Arizona math standards your child finds hardest and practices the computer-based format, which has two untimed units.
The spring 2027 computer-based math window is April 12 to May 7, 2027. Calculators are not allowed in grades 3 to 6, and grades 7 and 8 use a scientific calculator on Unit 1 only. Plans start at $85 a month, with no contract.

What changes after a term of lessons
Solid on the tested standards
Fills gaps in the grade-level Arizona math skills AASA checks, from fractions and place value to ratios and linear equations.
Strong without a calculator
Keeps arithmetic quick and accurate, since grades 3 to 6 test without one and Unit 2 is calculator-free in grades 7 and 8.
Steady focus
Builds the stamina for two untimed units, reading carefully and checking work instead of rushing to finish.
What we cover
Lessons follow your child's own school or homeschool curriculum. These are the areas we work on most at this level.
Number and operations
Place value, multi-digit arithmetic and operations with decimals and rational numbers, matched to your child's grade.
Fractions
Fraction equivalence, comparing fractions and operations with fractions, a major focus of the grades 3 to 5 standards.
Ratios and proportional reasoning
Ratios, rates, percents and proportional relationships, central to the grades 6 and 7 tests.
Expressions and equations
Writing and solving equations and inequalities, through linear equations and systems in grade 8.
Geometry and measurement
Area, volume, angles, the coordinate plane and transformations, matched to the Arizona grade-level standards.
Statistics and probability
Data displays, measures of center and simple probability, as taught in middle school.
Calculator rules by grade
No calculator in grades 3 to 6, and a scientific calculator on Unit 1 only in grades 7 and 8, so we practice both ways.
Signs your child could use help
- Scored Minimally or Partially Proficient on the last AASA math test
- Struggles with fractions, ratios or equations in class
- Relies on a calculator for basic arithmetic
- Rushes through long tests and makes careless errors
- Is moving into an accelerated or honors math class
- Needs more help than the school's test review offers
One of these on its own is normal. Two or three together usually point to a specific gap, and finding it is what the free assessment is for.
Taught to your curriculum, wherever you live
AASA Mathematics (Arizona Department of Education)
Grades 3 to 8 take the math test each spring, online from April 12 to May 7, 2027 or on paper from April 12 to 23. Results use four levels, and Proficient or Highly Proficient means likely ready for the next grade. Grade 9 takes ACT Aspire and grade 11 the ACT.
For families moving from the UK
AASA in grades 3 to 8 covers roughly Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 maths. We check your child's gaps against the Arizona standards rather than the UK curriculum, then practice the AASA format.
Level: Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 maths
For families moving from Canada
Provincial math covers similar topics, but AASA follows Arizona's own math standards and calculator rules. We map what your child learned to those standards and practice the format.
Level: Grades 3-8 math
For families moving from Australia
NAPLAN numeracy tests Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. AASA tests every grade from 3 to 8, so we fill gaps against the Arizona standards and practice the format.
Level: Years 3-8 maths

Who teaches your child
Every TaleemSquare math tutor passes the same five checks before their first class. Your child keeps the same tutor each week, and if the fit is not right we switch tutor at no cost. Tutors are based in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Pakistan and India, and all of them teach in English.
Identity and references checked
Every tutor is identity-verified and reference-checked before teaching a student.
Subject test
Tutors pass a subject test before they are matched with a child.
Spoken-English assessment
Lessons are taught in English, so every tutor passes a spoken-English assessment.
Live sample lesson
Tutors teach a live sample lesson before they are hired, to show they can explain clearly.
Open to parents
Classes are one-to-one in a password-protected room. Sit in on any class or ask for a recording.
How AASA math lessons work
Start with a skills check
The first lesson finds which grade-level standards your child has secure and which need work, using test-style questions.
Teach, then practice the format
Each skill is taught step by step, then practiced in AASA-style items, with or without a calculator as the grade requires.
Build toward test conditions
Short practice sets grow into full untimed practice units as April gets closer.
Updates for parents
You get a short note after every lesson on what was covered and what to practice next.

EnrollCommon worries, honest answers
“My child relies on a calculator. Is that a problem for AASA?”
It can be. Calculators are not allowed in grades 3 to 6, and grades 7 and 8 use one only on Unit 1. We build quick, accurate arithmetic so the calculator-free parts do not cost easy points.
“My child gets anxious about tests. Will this make it worse?”
We keep early practice calm and short, and build confidence by showing progress. Knowing the format well usually makes test day feel familiar instead of scary.
“When will we see the results?”
Schools, not the state, give families AASA results. For spring 2026, reports reached schools in late May, and families could view them in the Parent Portal from June 10 with a claim code. Ask your school how it shares results.
