Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics — Kentucky
Kentucky KSA is a state summative assessment built on Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) rather than a separate national framework. For mathematics, the assessed content closely follows Common Core–style grade-band domains in grades 3-8 and uses Kentucky high-school conceptual categories in grade 10.
KSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).
