Lessons learned from the 2025 6th Grade Math STAAR
Using a modified version of the statewide item analysis report, I examined the readiness standards that had less than 60% mastery. Each standard has both an analysis of the items themselves to infer what made them so difficult and instructional implications for educators to ensure a more successful 2026 STAAR test. Standard # of items % mastery 6.8D 1 25 6.7D 1 28 6.5B 1 31 6.8A 1 41 6.12D 1 42 6.10A 1 46 6.3E 2 49.5 6.2D 2 50.5 6.12C 2 51.5 6.4B 2 51.5 6.13A 1 55 6.3D 2 55
