Arkansas’s statewide assessment system is ATLAS, which the ADE page says began serving in spring 2024. The official public page does not publish a math blueprint there, so the most defensible coverage map is the Arkansas math standards structure that ATLAS is aligned to.
ATLAS uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).
