Top 10 5th Grade STAAR Math Practice Questions
TL;DR: Fifth grade STAAR Math is the biggest test of your child’s elementary years. Decimals, fraction operations, and volume all land here, and the redesigned STAAR mixes question types in ways earlier tests did not. These 10 practice questions match that style and topic mix, so they double as a real preview. Try them together, talk through the reasoning, and you will spot the topics that still need a few more rounds before test day.
Key takeaways:
- STAAR Grade 5 Math follows the Texas TEKS – decimals, fractions, volume, geometry, and personal financial literacy.
- Fully online with multiple question types (multiple choice, griddable, drag-and-drop, equation editor).
- Around 32-34 items, no strict time limit (most students finish in 2-3 hours).
- No calculator at grade 5 – on-screen reference sheet has volume formulas and conversions.
- “Approaches” is the lowest passing mark; “Meets” is the on-grade-level target.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the STAAR test?
The number of questions depends on the grade and subject, and the redesigned STAAR also counts some multi-part items differently, so check the current test blueprint on the Texas Education Agency website for the exact grade 5 math count. What matters more is pacing: practice a full set in one sitting and teach your child to flag a hard question and come back to it later.
Is there a 5th grade STAAR math practice test?
Yes. The Texas Education Agency offers released STAAR tests and online practice tests for grade 5 math, and they are the best match for the real question types. Use them alongside topic practice on decimals, fraction operations and volume. Try one full practice test a couple of weeks before the spring test date, then spend most of your time on the questions your child missed.
Is there a 5th grade STAAR math practice test PDF?
Yes. Released grade 5 STAAR math tests are posted as printable PDFs on the Texas Education Agency website, and they are handy for working on paper. Because the real test is taken online with items like drag-and-drop and equation editor, mix PDF practice with at least one online practice session. On paper, have your child show work, such as 425 ÷ 50 = 8.5 hours for a distance-rate problem.
Is there a 5th grade STAAR math practice test answer key?
Yes, released STAAR tests come with answer keys so you can check your child’s work. After grading, sort each miss into a careless slip or a skill gap. A slip, such as forgetting that 13 out of 65 cards simplifies to 1/5, needs a quick redo, while a skill gap like finding area from perimeter needs a short lesson and a few extra problems.
Can my child take a 5th grade STAAR math practice test online?
Yes. Texas provides online STAAR practice tests in the same testing platform students use on test day, so your fifth grader can try the on-screen reference sheet, equation editor and drag-and-drop items before the real thing. Calculators are not allowed on grade 5 STAAR math, so have your child do the arithmetic by hand during practice too.
