STAAR Frequency Distribution - Grade 3 Mathematics - Item Counts by TEKS Cluster/Subcluster

Sep 30, 2026

STAAR frequency distribution tables summarize item counts for Grade 3 Mathematics aligned to TEKS clusters and subclusters across multiple STAAR years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025). The document organizes results by major domains including process standards, representation and comparison of whole numbers, fractions, addition and subtraction, numerical patterns, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and personal financial literacy. Each subcluster lists the number of items per year and provides totals. Source credit is given to the Texas Education Agency.

FAQs

How is the STAAR frequency distribution organized in this document?

It is organized by grade level (Grade 3 Mathematics shown) and then grouped into TEKS clusters and subclusters, with each subcluster listing item counts across STAAR test years and a total column.

What types of math domains are included for Grade 3 Mathematics?

The document includes process standards and major TEKS domains such as whole-number representation and comparison, fractions, addition and subtraction, numerical patterns, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and personal financial literacy.

What does NT mean in the tables?

NT is shown as “Not Tested,” indicating that the corresponding TEKS subcluster had no test items for that year.
