What is the STAAR math test?
STAAR is Texas's state test. Math is tested in grades 3 through 8, and Algebra I has an end-of-course exam that is a graduation requirement. Tests are mostly online. Most students finish in about three hours, and students may test until the end of the school day. Results fall into four levels: Did Not Meet, Approaches, Meets and Masters Grade Level. Under House Bill 8, STAAR continues through 2026-27 and is replaced starting in 2027-28.

STAAR Math FAQ
Is the STAAR test going away?
Yes, but not yet. House Bill 8, passed in 2025, repeals STAAR starting in 2027-28. TEA says students will then take shorter beginning-of-year and middle-of-year tests plus an end-of-year test. STAAR math is still given in spring 2027, with a window of April 20 to 30, 2027.
Can you use a calculator on the STAAR math test?
It depends on the grade. Calculators are not allowed in grades 3 through 7 unless a student qualifies for one as an accommodation. In grade 8 and Algebra I, a graphing calculator is required, and the online test provides calculator tools. TEA also provides a math reference sheet for each grade.
How long is the STAAR math test?
TEA says most students finish a STAAR test in about three hours. Schools usually schedule three to four hours. A student who needs more time may keep working until the end of the regular school day. Number of questions varies by grade, and TEA publishes blueprints for each grade.
Where can I find STAAR math practice tests?
TEA posts released STAAR test questions. Tests from 2023 and later are online on the Texas Assessment practice site, and older ones are PDFs. TEA's STAAR Mathematics Resources page also has blueprints, reference materials, graph paper and samplers of the newer question types.
What score do you need to pass the Algebra I STAAR?
Passing means reaching Approaches Grade Level or higher. Passing the Algebra I end-of-course exam is generally required to graduate in Texas, though some substitute tests such as the SAT or ACT may count. Students who do not pass can retest in the fall, spring or summer without retaking the course.
What should I practice first for STAAR Math?
Start with Grade 3-5 number sense, operations, fractions, geometry, and measurement. Then use a short mixed practice set to see which skill should come next.
How should I use this STAAR Math Online Center?
Begin with the main starting resource, choose one weak skill from the map, practice it, then return to the online center for the next topic or a timed review.
Are there free resources on this page?
Yes. The online center links to free Effortless Math resources such as STAAR Parent Guide, Texas Math Standards Online Center, Grade 3 STAAR Worksheets.
Which STAAR Math skills matter most?
The highest-value areas include Grade 3-5 number sense, operations, fractions, geometry, and measurement; Grade 6-8 ratios, expressions, equations, geometry, statistics, and readiness skills; Algebra I linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Use the skill map as a checklist rather than trying to study everything at once.
When should I use a book or workbook?
Use a book when the student needs a structured sequence, repeated practice, or a printed path that is easier to follow than scattered online links.
