STAAR Grade 7 Geometry and Measurement Practice

What the test measures

Geometry and Measurement skills

solve problems with angles, scale drawings, and geometric figures
determine area, circumference, and surface area
use geometric transformations and coordinate geometry
apply measurement relationships in context
TEKS mathematical process standards applied to grade 7 content

Standards basis

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.

A cylinder has radius $1$ and height $5$ . Using $\pi = 3$ , what is its volume?

$V = \pi r^2 h = 3 \times 1 \times 5 = 15$ .

A rectangular prism has volume $160$ cubic inches and height $5$ inches. The length is twice the width. What is the length, in inches?

$V = \ell w h$ and $\ell = 2w$ , so $160 = (2w)(w)(5) = 10w^2$ . Then $w^2 = 16$ , so $w = 4$ and $\ell = 8\text{ in}\textsf{.}$

A factory seals soup in closed cylindrical cans with radius $3$ centimeters and height $5$ centimeters. What is the total exterior surface area, in square centimeters, of one closed can?

A closed cylinder has two circular bases and a lateral surface: $SA = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$ . With $r = 3$ and $h = 5$ , $SA = 2\pi(9) + 2\pi(3)(5) = 18\pi + 30\pi = 48\pi$ square centimeters.

Find the volume of a sphere with radius $3$ . Use $\pi = 3$ .

$V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \dfrac{4}{3} \times 3 \times 27 = 108$ .

Two sides of a triangle measure $16$ and $9\textsf{.}$ Which inequality gives the possible lengths, $x\textsf{,}$ of the third side?

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

Similar triangles $GHI$ and $JKL$ have perimeters $16$ and $48\textsf{.}$ Side $GH$ corresponds to side $JK\textsf{,}$ and $GH = 5\textsf{.}$ What is the length of $JK\textsf{?}$

The scale factor from $\triangle GHI$ to $\triangle JKL$ is $\dfrac{48}{16} = 3\textsf{.}$ Corresponding sides scale by $3\textsf{,}$ so $JK = 5 \cdot 3 = 15\textsf{.}$
