Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Mathematics — Texas

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.

What is the $y$ -intercept of the line $y = \dfrac{1}{4}x - 6$ ?

In $y = mx + b$ , the $y$ -intercept is $b = -6$ .

For the function $v(x) = 6x + k$ with constant $k$ , it is known that $v(7) = 30$ . What number does $v(4)$ equal?

Substitute $x = 7$ : $6(7) + k = 30$ , so $42 + k = 30$ and $k = -12$ . The rule is $v(x) = 6x - 12$ , so $v(4) = 6(4) - 12 = 24 - 12 = 12$ .

Elena already has $\text{\char36}75$ in her savings account and deposits $\text{\char36}20$ each week. Let $x$ be the number of weeks and $y$ be the account balance in dollars. Which equation models the situation?

She starts at $\text{\char36}75$ (intercept) and gains $\text{\char36}20$ per week (slope), so $y = 20x + 75\textsf{.}$

A passenger train traveled $348$ miles in $4$ hours at a constant speed. What was the train's speed, in miles per hour?

Speed = distance $\div$ time: $\dfrac{348}{4} = 87$ miles per hour.

Given $a:b = 5:2$ and $a = 75$ , find $b$ .

$\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{5}{2}$ . With $a = 75$ , $\dfrac{75}{b} = \dfrac{5}{2}$ , so $5b = 150$ and $b = 30$ .

What is the slope of the line through $(-1, 4)$ and $(2, -5)$ ?

Slope $= \dfrac{-5 - 4}{2 - (-1)} = \dfrac{-9}{3} = -3\textsf{.}$
