Sample AASA Math Grade 8 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your AASA Math Grade 8 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which of the following numbers is irrational?
A.√49
B.0.36
C.√13
D.5/8
Explanation: An irrational number cannot be written as a ratio of two integers and does not terminate or repeat. √13 is irrational because 13 is not a perfect square.
2Which number is rational?
A.√2
B.π
C.√25
D.√10
Explanation: √25 = 5, which is an integer and therefore rational (5 = 5/1). The others cannot be written as ratios of integers.
3Between which two consecutive integers does √40 lie?
A.5 and 6
B.6 and 7
C.7 and 8
D.4 and 5
Explanation: 6² = 36 and 7² = 49. Since 36 < 40 < 49, √40 is between 6 and 7.
4What is √81?
A.8
B.9
C.10
D.40.5
Explanation: 9 × 9 = 81, so √81 = 9.
5What is ∛64?
A.4
B.8
C.16
D.32
Explanation: 4 × 4 × 4 = 64, so ∛64 = 4.
6Which of the following is a perfect cube?
A.16
B.36
C.125
D.50
Explanation: 5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125, so 125 is a perfect cube.
7√50 is closest to which whole number?
A.6
B.7
C.8
D.9
Explanation: 7² = 49 and 8² = 64. Because 50 is only 1 more than 49, √50 ≈ 7.07, closest to 7.
8Order the numbers from least to greatest: √5, 2.1, 9/4.
A.√5, 2.1, 9/4
B.2.1, √5, 9/4
C.9/4, √5, 2.1
D.√5, 9/4, 2.1
Explanation: √5 ≈ 2.236, 2.1 = 2.1, and 9/4 = 2.25. Comparing: 2.1 < 2.236 < 2.25, so the order is 2.1, √5, 9/4.
9Which expression is equivalent to √(36/100)?
A.6/10
B.36/10
C.18/50
D.6/100
Explanation: √(36/100) = √36 / √100 = 6/10 (which also equals 3/5).
10A student says √45 is between 6 and 7. Which calculation best supports this claim?
A.6² = 36 and 7² = 49, and 36 < 45 < 49
B.6 + 7 = 13 and 45 ÷ 13 ≈ 3.5
C.45 ÷ 6 ≈ 7.5
D.√49 = 7 and √36 = 6, so √45 must equal 6.5
Explanation: If n² < a < (n+1)², then n < √a < n+1. Because 6² = 36 < 45 < 49 = 7², √45 is between 6 and 7.

About the AASA Math Grade 8 Exam

Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) Mathematics — Grade 8 is Arizona's grade-level statewide mathematics achievement assessment for public school students. Reporting categories follow the AASA Math Blueprint for Grade 8 (Arizona Mathematics Standards, 2016). Official forms use about 53–55 operational items across two untimed units with selected-response, TE, and grid-in items. OpenExamPrep free MCQ practice is a study aid—not a secure item bank or full format simulation.

Questions

55 scored questions

Time Limit

AASA Mathematics Units 1 and 2 are untimed (ADE 2025–2026 AASA overview). Schools schedule both math units within the spring CBT window (e.g., March 30–April 24, 2026).

Passing Score

Results are reported in four performance levels (Minimally Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, and Highly Proficient). Scale-score cut points are set by ADE and published on the AASA cut scores document; Proficient and Highly Proficient indicate grade-level achievement.

Exam Fee

Free to students and families; AASA is a state-funded statewide achievement assessment administered through Arizona public schools. (Arizona Department of Education; computer-based delivery via Pearson TestNav / PearsonAccess next)

AASA Math Grade 8 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice with ADE/Pearson sample tests on TestNav (select Arizona) so students learn tools and item interactions.
2Align classroom review to grade-level Arizona Academic Standards clusters, not only practice-test item types.
3For ELA, balance literary and informational reading with short daily evidence-based writing or revision tasks.
4For math, mix conceptual questions with multi-step computation and word problems; include grid-in style work on paper even when using MCQ practice.
5Review wrong answers by standard: identify whether the miss was vocabulary, procedure, or problem setup.
6Use short, frequent practice sessions across the year rather than cramming only in the spring window.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arizona AASA Mathematics Grade 8 assessment?

Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) is the statewide achievement test for public school students in Grades 3–8. Mathematics Grade 8 measures student performance on the Arizona Academic Standards for that grade and subject. ADE partners with Pearson for computer-based delivery on TestNav.

Is AASA free for students?

Yes. AASA is administered by Arizona public schools as a state-funded accountability assessment. Families do not pay an exam fee for standard school-based administration.

How long is the AASA test?

ELA Writing, ELA Reading, and Math units are untimed. Grade 3 Oral Reading Fluency items are timed. Districts schedule units within the official spring window published by ADE.

What item types appear on the official AASA?

Official forms use multiple-choice, technology-enhanced items, grid-in (math), and for ELA an open-response writing prompt (plus Grade 3 ORF). OpenExamPrep practice questions are a four-option MCQ study adaptation—not an official format simulation.

How are results reported?

Students receive performance levels (Minimally Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, Highly Proficient) based on ADE scale-score cuts. Grade 3 ELA also informs Move On When Reading requirements.

Are these practice questions official AASA items?

No. These free practice questions are original study aids aligned to Arizona standards and AASA reporting categories. They are not secure official items and do not replace classroom instruction, sample tests on TestNav, or the official spring assessment.
