At grades 3-5, STAAR Math Workbooks are organized in terms of the grade-level TEKS. Problem sets containing 32 items formatted to reflect the STAAR test are provided for each Readiness Standard within each TEKS Category (e.g., Numerical Representations and Relationships). The Supporting Standards for each Category are bundled and addressed in a single 32-item problem set.
Content is presented simply in black and white with an uncluttered format. Workbook problem sets for groups of Supporting Standards do not identify the Supporting Standard addressed by each item; however, answer keys contain this information. In addition to answer keys, teachers have access to a document that identifies where the Mathematical Process Standards are addressed in the Workbook for each grade level.
