Tools intended to assist students during the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) in 2025 are the central subject. These resources encompass calculators, reference sheets, and other permissible items designed to support mathematical computations and problem-solving. For example, students might use a graphing calculator for algebra questions or a ruler for geometry tasks.
The appropriate and effective implementation of these support materials is critical to accurately gauging student understanding and skill application in mathematics. They help level the playing field by mitigating computational barriers and allowing students to focus on demonstrating their conceptual understanding. The use of these tools has evolved over time, with adjustments made to align with curricular changes and technological advancements.
