Top 10 4th Grade STAAR Math Practice Questions
TL;DR: Texas STAAR Math is on the way, and you want to know what your fourth grader is walking into. These 10 practice questions are sized to what they should be able to handle by test day, each one mirroring the redesigned STAAR’s online format and mix of question types. They also line up with the TEKS standards Texas actually tests. Work through them together and you will see, very quickly, which topics still need a few more rounds.
Key takeaways:
- STAAR Grade 4 Math tests every TEKS standard – operations, fractions, geometry, measurement, and personal financial literacy.
- The redesigned STAAR is now fully online with multiple question types (multiple choice, griddable, drag-and-drop, equation editor).
- About 32-34 items, no strict time limit at grades 3-5.
- No calculator at grade 4 – reference materials with conversions are on screen.
- “Approaches” is the lowest passing level; “Meets” is on-grade-level proficiency.

Answers:
1- 860
We round the number up to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
We round the number down to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If the last digit is 0, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the ten.
Therefore, a rounded number of 855 to the nearest ten is 860.
2- A
\(\frac{12}{100}\) is equal to 0.12
3- A
7 days = 1 week
28 days \(= (28 ÷ 7)= 4\) weeks
4- C
Football team should buy 14 uniforms that each uniform cost $24 so they should pay (14 \(×\) $24) $336.
Therefore, choice C is correct answer:
\((24 × 10) + (24 × 4) =24(10+14) =24×14 = $336\)
5- C
These: \(98 – 31 = Z\)
\(98 – Z = 31\)
And \(Z + 31 = 98\) are equal.
6- A
This angle is less than \(90^\circ\). just choice A shows an angle less than \(90^\circ\).
7- B
Three-digit odd numbers with a 6 in the hundreds place and a 3 in the tens place are 631, 633, 635, 637, 639. 637 is one of the alternatives.
8- D
Tam wants to divide his 390 cards into boxes of 30 cards. So he needs \(390÷30=13\) boxes.
9- C
Subtract hours: \(2 – 6 = -4\)
Subtract the minutes: \(15 – 30 = – 15\)
The minutes are less than 0, so:
• Add 60 to minutes ( \(-15 +60 =45\) minutes)
• Subtract 1 from hours \((-4 – 1 = -5)\) the hours are less than 0, add 24: \((24 – 5 =19)\)
The answer is 19:45 that is equal to 7:45
10- A

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s on the 4 grade STAAR Math test?
STAAR Math at grade 4 follows the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and tests multi-digit multiplication and long division, fractions and decimals to hundredths, perimeter and area, measurement conversions, classifying two-dimensional figures, and multi-step word problems. Texas groups the items into reporting categories like Numerical Representations and Relationships, Computations and Algebraic Relationships, Geometry and Measurement, and Data Analysis and Personal Financial Literacy.
How many questions are on the test, and how long does my child have?
Grade 4 STAAR Math has around 32 to 34 items (the exact count varies by year). The test isn’t strictly timed – the official policy is that students get a full school day if they need it, but most kids finish in 2 to 3 hours. Your child can take breaks.
Is STAAR Math paper-based or computer-based?
STAAR is now fully online in nearly all Texas districts (the state moved to a digital-first model under House Bill 3906). A small number of students still take paper versions with an accommodation. Practice some questions on a screen so the format isn’t a surprise.
What kinds of question types appear on STAAR Math?
Multiple choice (four answer options), plus griddable items where your child enters a numeric answer using a grid, drag-and-drop, multi-select, equation editor, and hot-spot questions. Around 25 to 30% of items are now non-multiple-choice on the redesigned STAAR.
Is a calculator allowed?
No – calculators aren’t allowed on grade 4 STAAR Math. A reference sheet is provided online (and on paper for paper testers) with common formulas and conversions. Your child needs to know their multiplication facts and basic operations cold.
What’s a passing score on STAAR Math?
STAAR reports performance levels: Did Not Meet, Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level. “Approaches” is the lowest passing mark; “Meets” is the on-grade-level target. Cut scores adjust by year, but at grade 4 Math, “Approaches” is typically around 1340-1370 on the scale score.
When is STAAR Math given?
STAAR Math at grades 3-5 is given each spring, usually in April or early May. Your district will publish the exact testing window. Most fourth graders take the test on a single morning.
What’s the best way to study for STAAR Math?
Three habits help most: (1) short daily practice (15-20 minutes), (2) at least one full-length practice test under realistic conditions a couple of weeks out, and (3) reviewing every missed problem to figure out whether the slip was careless or a real gap. The Top 10 questions on this page are a quick snapshot of what to expect.
What if my child gets stuck on a question during the test?
Teach them to flag and move on. STAAR lets students skip questions and come back later – getting hung up on one problem can cost a child five easier points elsewhere. Encourage “if you don’t see it in 30 seconds, mark it and go.”
Where can my child get more STAAR practice?
EffortlessMath has grade-4 STAAR practice tests, topic-by-topic worksheets, and full study guides. The Related Lessons section below links to step-by-step explanations of the most common stumbling points – long division, fractions, and multi-step word problems.
