Graphing items may be seen on any STAAR math test (3-8 and Algebra I). The type of graph within the item (bar graph, coordinate plane, etc.) and the task(s) the student is asked to do will be grade-appropriate. A student will be given data in the item and will be asked to independently create different types of graphs. The student may have to click and drag bars within a bar graph to the correct height/length, plot points or click and drag points on a coordinate plane, determine if a line should be solid or broken, choose a solution set, etc.
Subject areas and grade levels:
Math - Grades 3-8, EOC
Point Value: 1 or 2 points with the possibility of receiving 1 point for a partially correct response.
*As of 10/19/22, graphing is NOT on any practice tests or available in TFAR. They are still working on getting this worked out. It is still possible for it to be on the STAAR test in the Spring.Â
