Texas Assessment Program

STAAR Math is not one fixed-length test. TEA publishes separate assessed-curriculum documents and blueprints for grades 3-8 mathematics and Algebra I, with official item counts ranging from 30 questions in grade 3 to 50 questions in Algebra I. The program is primarily online, uses TEKS-aligned items, and reports performance in four levels: Masters Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, and Did Not Meet Grade Level. Students at Approaches Grade Level or higher have passed the assessment.

Sample STAAR Math Practice Questions

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

1In the number 48,392, what is the value of the digit 4?
A.4
B.40
C.4,000
D.40,000
Explanation: The digit 4 is in the ten-thousands place, so its value is 4 ten-thousands, or 40,000. Place value depends on where the digit appears in the number.
2Which number is 6,784 rounded to the nearest hundred?
A.6,700
B.6,780
C.6,800
D.7,000
Explanation: To round to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit. In 6,784, the tens digit is 8, so 6,784 rounds up to 6,800.
3A garden has 7 rows with 8 plants in each row. How many plants are in the garden?
A.15
B.48
C.56
D.78
Explanation: Equal rows can be modeled with multiplication. There are 7 x 8 = 56 plants in all.
4A library had 245 books on a shelf. A worker added 178 books and then removed 96 damaged books. How many books were left on the shelf?
A.327
B.337
C.419
D.519
Explanation: First add the books placed on the shelf: 245 + 178 = 423. Then subtract the damaged books: 423 - 96 = 327.
5Which comparison is true?
A.3/8 > 3/6
B.3/8 = 3/6
C.3/8 < 3/6
D.8/3 < 6/3
Explanation: When fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the larger denominator is smaller. Since eighths are smaller pieces than sixths, 3/8 is less than 3/6.
6Which fraction is equivalent to 2/3?
A.2/6
B.3/4
C.4/6
D.5/6
Explanation: Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 2 gives 4/6. Equivalent fractions name the same amount using different-sized pieces.
7Which fraction is equal to 0.75?
A.1/4
B.3/4
C.7/5
D.75/10
Explanation: The decimal 0.75 means 75 hundredths, or 75/100. Reducing 75/100 by dividing by 25 gives 3/4.
8There are 20 students in a club. If 3/4 of the students attended a meeting, how many students attended?
A.12
B.15
C.16
D.18
Explanation: Find 3/4 of 20 by dividing 20 by 4 and multiplying by 3. Since 20 / 4 = 5 and 5 x 3 = 15, 15 students attended.
9A rectangle is 9 inches long and 6 inches wide. What is its perimeter?
A.15 inches
B.30 inches
C.54 inches
D.60 inches
Explanation: Perimeter is the distance around a figure. For a rectangle, 9 + 6 + 9 + 6 = 30 inches.
10A class started an activity at 10:15 a.m. and finished at 11:05 a.m. How long did the activity last?
A.40 minutes
B.45 minutes
C.50 minutes
D.90 minutes
Explanation: From 10:15 to 11:00 is 45 minutes, and from 11:00 to 11:05 is 5 more minutes. The total time is 50 minutes.

About the STAAR Math Exam

STAAR Math Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice by reporting category: rotate among number operations, algebraic relationships, geometry/measurement, and data/financial literacy instead of drilling only one strand.
2Explain each step in multi-step word problems. STAAR math questions often test whether you can choose the operation, not just perform it.
3For grades 6-8 and Algebra I readiness, review proportional relationships, rate of change, slope, equations, inequalities, and function representations together.
4For geometry, write the formula before substituting numbers, and check whether the question asks for perimeter, area, surface area, or volume.
5Use released item rationales from TEA to study why distractors are tempting, then practice eliminating answer choices with specific mathematical reasons.
6Know calculator expectations for your grade/course. TEA publishes a STAAR calculator policy, and calculator availability differs by assessment.
