Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Mathematics — Texas
STAAR math is a Texas state assessment built on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), not a Common Core framework. Texas publishes explicit STAAR reporting categories by grade/course, with item reporting aligned to TEKS content strands and student expectations.
TEA’s publicly visible STAAR Mathematics Resources page does not publish item weights in the page content reviewed here. The category structure is explicit, but no percentage blueprint was visible in the sourced materials.

A shipping clerk weighed packages. The frequency table shows each weight and how many packages had that weight.
What is the median package weight?
There are weights. Listing every weight from least to greatest, the th and th values are both , so the median is pounds.
Five test scores are , , , , and . One score is removed from the data set, but which score was removed is not stated. How does this affect the mean?
The mean of the five given scores can be found, but removing a different score changes the mean in different ways. Without knowing which score was removed, the effect cannot be determined.
Seven test scores are and What is the mean score?
Mean .
Find the range of 10, 3, 15, 6.
Range .
The distances, in miles, run on seven days are and What is the median distance?
In order, the values are The median is the middle value,
What is the probability of drawing a red ball from 2 red and 3 blue? Give a simplified fraction.
.
A clinic recorded customer wait times, in minutes, for visits. The frequency table shows the results.
What is the median wait time?
Expand to wait times: . The th and th values are both , so the median is minutes.
A weather station records five daily rainfall amounts, in inches: , , , , and . The lowest amount, inch, is removed from the data set. How does this affect the mean?
The mean of the original five amounts is inches. Because , removing the smallest value raises the mean.
The STAAR placement starts with this test's real coverage map and finds the right difficulty.
