Answers:

2- C
\(2205÷315=\frac{2205}{315}=\frac{441}{63}=\frac{147}{21}= 7\)

3- B
\(112=22+x \)
Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation. Then:
\(x=112-22=90\)

4- D
The distance that car B travels \(=1.2 ×\) distance that car A travels
=\(1.2×221.5=265.8 \) km

5- D
The perimeter of the trapezoid is 38.
Therefore, the missing side (height) is \(= 38 – 8 – 10 – 11 = 9\)
Area of the trapezoid: \(A = \frac{1}{2} h (b_1 + b_2) = \frac{1}{2}1 (9) (8 + 10) = 81\)

6- D
A. \(3^1+12=3+12=15\)
B. \(3^3-3^2=27-9=18\)
C. \(3^4-60=81-60=21\)
D. \(3^5-218=243-218=25\)

7- B
Alfred has \(x\) apple which is 15 apples more than the number of apples Alvin owns. Therefore:
\(x-15=40→x=40+15=55\)
Alfred has 55 apples.
Let \(y\) be the number of apples that Baron has. Then: \(y=\frac{1}{5}×55=11\)

8- A
Complementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
\( β+150^\circ=180^\circ→β=180^\circ-150^\circ=30^\circ\)
The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Then:
\(α+β+50^\circ=180^\circ→α+30^\circ+50^\circ=180^\circ\)
\(→α+80^\circ=180^\circ→α=180^\circ-80^\circ=100^\circ\)

9- C
Let \(x\) be the original price.
If the price of a laptop is decreased by \(15\%\) to $425, then:
\(85 \% \space of \space x=425⇒ 0.85x=425 ⇒ x=425÷0.85=500\)

10- C
Let \(x\) and \(y\) be two sides of the shape. Then:
\(x+1=1+1+1→x=2\)
\(y+6+2=5+4→y+8=9→y=1\)
Then, the perimeter is:
\(1+5+1+4+1+2+1+6+2+1=24\)

11- B
First, put the numbers in order from least to greatest: \(1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6\)
The Mode of the set of numbers is: 1 and 3 (the most frequent numbers)
The median is: 3 (the number in the middle)

12- C
\(x×92=x×(90+2)=(x×90)+(x×2)\)

13- C
The ratio of pens to pencils is \(3: 5\). Therefore there are 3 pens out of all 8 pens and pencils. To find the answer, first dived 96 by 8 then multiply the result by 3.
\(96÷8=12→12×3=36\)
There are 36 pens and 60 pencils \((96-36)\). Therefore, 24 more pens should be put in the box to make the ratio \(1: 1\)

14- D
If the value of point A is greater than the value of point B, then the distance of two points on the number line is: the value of A- the value of B
A. \(-\frac{24}{3}-(-13)=-8+13=5=5\)
B. \(-3-(-\frac{24}{3})=-3+8=5=5\)
C. \(-2-(-\frac{24}{3})=-2+8=6≠5\)

15- B
\(\frac{3}{13}≅0.23, \frac{5}{14}≅0.357, \frac{4}{11}≅0.36, \frac{2}{5}=0.4\)

16- B
Plugin the value of \(x\) in the equations. \(x = -4\), then:
A.\(x(3x-1)=50→-4(3(-4)-1)=-4(-12-1)=-4(-13)=52≠50\)
B. \(5(11-x^2 )=-25→5(11-(-4)^2 )= 5(11-16)=5(-5)=-25\)
C. \(3(-2x+5)=49→3(-2(-4)+5)=3(8+5)=39≠49\)
D. \(x(-5x-19)=-3→-4(-5(-4)-19=-4(20-19)=-4≠-3\)

17- 5
Let \(x\) be the missing prime factor of 450.
\(450= 2 × 3 × 3 × x ⇒ x =\frac{450}{18} ⇒ x = 25=5×5\)

18- C
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
\(a^2+b^2=c^2→6^2+8^2=c^2→36+64=c^2→100=c^2→c=10\)
The perimeter of the triangle is: \(6+8+10=24\)

19- C
Use the percent formula:
\(Part = \frac{percent}{100} × whole\)
\(65= \frac{percent}{100} × 50⇒ 65 = \frac{percent ×50}{100}⇒ 65=\frac{percent ×5}{10}\)
multiply both sides by 10.
\(650 =percent ×5, \space divide \space both \space sides \space by \space 5.\)
130 = percent
The answer is \(130\%\)

20- A
Let’s check the options provided.
A. \(-10+(-8)+ (\frac{5}{2})×(-2)=-10+(-8)+(-5)=-10-13=-23\)
B. \(5×3+(-2)×18=15+(-38)=-21\)
C. \(-10+6×8÷(-4)=-10+48÷(-4)=-10-12=-22\)
D. \((-3)× (-7)+ 2=21+2=23\)

For a STAAR-focused workbook, the STAAR Grade 6 Math for Beginners walks through every grade 6 TEKS with worked examples. For more full-length STAAR-format practice, see the 10 Full-Length STAAR Grade 6 Math Practice Tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the 6th Grade STAAR Math test?

The operational STAAR Grade 6 Math test has 30 questions — most multiple-choice with a handful of griddable (numeric entry) items. This free practice has 20 sample questions covering the same TEKS topics.

Is a calculator allowed on the 6th Grade STAAR Math?

No. TEA does not provide a calculator for STAAR Math at grade 6. Your student gets the official STAAR math reference sheet (formulas, conversions) and has to do all arithmetic by hand. Practice basic fluency throughout the year.

How long is the 6th Grade STAAR Math test?

The state allows up to 4 hours (240 minutes). Most students finish in 2-3 hours. There’s no time penalty for finishing early, but rushing tends to cost more points than slowing down. Encourage your student to use the full time if needed.

How is the STAAR Grade 6 Math scored?

Each student gets a scale score and a performance level: Did Not Meet, Approaches, Meets, or Masters. Texas targets Meets Grade Level or above as the proficiency standard. The scale score also tracks vertical growth across years.

What topics are on the 6th Grade STAAR Math?

Number and operations (positive rational number arithmetic, integers, prime factorization), proportionality (ratios, rates, percents), expressions/equations/relationships (one-variable equations, dependent vs independent variables), and geometry/measurement (area of triangles/parallelograms/trapezoids, volume of rectangular prisms).

Can my student retake the 6th Grade STAAR Math?

No. The STAAR is given once per spring. If your student misses the original date due to absence, a state-approved make-up is scheduled within the testing window. Otherwise, the next chance is the grade 7 STAAR the following spring.

How long should we prepare for the 6th Grade STAAR Math?

If your student’s grades have been solid all year, 4-5 weeks of practice (20 minutes a day) is usually enough. If math has been a struggle, plan 8-10 weeks at 25-30 minutes per day. Take this practice test first to know where to focus.

What’s on the STAAR Grade 6 math reference sheet?

The official reference sheet includes formulas for area of a parallelogram, trapezoid, and triangle, volume of a rectangular prism, customary and metric measurement conversions, and the standard pi approximations. Your student gets a fresh copy on test day.

Is the STAAR Grade 6 Math aligned to Common Core?

No. Texas never adopted Common Core. STAAR Math is aligned to the Texas TEKS. The grade 6 math content overlaps heavily with CCSS 6.RP, 6.NS, 6.EE, 6.G, and 6.SP but Texas sequences some topics differently — for example, integers come earlier in the TEKS.

Where can I find more 6th Grade STAAR Math practice?

EffortlessMath has step-by-step lessons for every grade 6 TEKS, plus the STAAR Grade 6 Math for Beginners workbook and a bundle with multiple full-length grade 6 STAAR practice tests.
