How the STAAR reports it

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.

Blueprint & weighting

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.

In a triangle, two sides each have length 8.8\textsf{.} Which inequality represents the possible lengths, x,x\textsf{,} of the third side?

The triangle inequality requires ∣8−8∣<x<8+8.|8 - 8| < x < 8 + 8\textsf{.} Simplifying gives 0<x<16.0 < x < 16\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=4b = 4 and height h=6h = 6.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=4⋅6=24= b \cdot h = 4 \cdot 6 = 24.

In a triangle, two sides each have length 10.10\textsf{.} Which inequality represents the possible lengths, x,x\textsf{,} of the third side?

The triangle inequality requires ∣10−10∣<x<10+10.|10 - 10| < x < 10 + 10\textsf{.} Simplifying gives 0<x<20.0 < x < 20\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=5b_1 = 5 and b2=6b_2 = 6 and height h=4h = 4.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(5+6)⋅4=12(11)⋅4=22= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(5 + 6) \cdot 4 = \dfrac{1}{2}(11) \cdot 4 = 22.

A triangle has sides of length 99 and 20.20\textsf{.} Which inequality represents the possible lengths, x,x\textsf{,} of the remaining side?

The triangle inequality requires ∣20−9∣<x<20+9.|20 - 9| < x < 20 + 9\textsf{.} Simplifying gives 11<x<29.11 < x < 29\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a triangle with base b=8b = 8 and height h=9h = 9.

Triangle area =12⋅b⋅h=12⋅8⋅9=36= \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 9 = 36.

Two sides of a triangle measure 1616 and 9.9\textsf{.} Which inequality gives the possible lengths, x,x\textsf{,} of the third side?

The triangle inequality requires ∣16−9∣<x<16+9.|16 - 9| < x < 16 + 9\textsf{.} Simplifying gives 7<x<25.7 < x < 25\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=2b = 2 and height h=9h = 9.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=2⋅9=18= b \cdot h = 2 \cdot 9 = 18.
