8th Grade Math Test Generator for Texas (TEKS)

Build printable 8th grade math tests that follow the Texas TEKS — the last STAAR-tested grade before high school, and the year the financial literacy strand turns toward paying for college and using credit.

Why Texas is different

Grade 8 is a pivot year in Texas. It is the final grade with a STAAR math test before students move into the Algebra 1 end-of-course exam, so the course carries both middle-school content and readiness expectations for high school algebra. The grade 8 TEKS also continue the Personal Financial Literacy strand, which by this point covers credit, college costs and repayment — content that has no Common Core equivalent at this grade.

What this course covers in Texas

Number and operations

Scientific notation, approximating irrational numbers such as square roots, and ordering values on the real number line. Scientific notation in particular shows up in STAAR-style items paired with science contexts.

Proportionality and linear relationships

Slope as a rate of change, direct variation, writing linear equations from tables and graphs, and interpreting slope and y-intercept in context. This is the strongest bridge into Algebra 1.

Two-dimensional shapes and measurement

Transformations including dilations on the coordinate plane, angle relationships in parallel lines, the Pythagorean theorem and its converse, and volume of cylinders, cones and spheres.

Data analysis and personal financial literacy

Scatter plots and trend lines, plus the grade 8 financial literacy expectations: costs of college and other post-secondary paths, credit and debt, and comparing repayment over time.

Example questions

Easy1. Write 0.00047 in scientific notation.
Easy2. A right triangle has legs measuring 12 m and 35 m. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
Med3. Find the volume of a cylinder with radius 5 cm and height 10 cm, using pi = 3.14.
Med4. Triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 2.5 about the origin. If side AB measures 6 units, find the length of the image side A'B'.
Hard5. A credit card charges 18% annual interest. Find the interest owed for one month on an unpaid balance of $250.

Answer key preview

1. 4.7 x 10^-4

Move the decimal point 4 places right to get 4.7, so the exponent is -4.

2. 37 m

12^2 + 35^2 = 144 + 1225 = 1369, and the square root of 1369 is 37.

3. 785 cubic cm

V = pi r^2 h = 3.14 x 25 x 10 = 785.

4. 15 units

6 x 2.5 = 15.

5. $3.75

Monthly rate = 0.18 / 12 = 0.015. Interest = 250 x 0.015 = 3.75.

Questions Texas teachers ask

Is 8th grade the last STAAR math test in Texas?
For students on the standard sequence, yes — grade 8 is the final grade-level STAAR math assessment, and the next math assessment is the Algebra 1 end-of-course exam. Students who take Algebra 1 in 8th grade sit the EOC instead.
How much Algebra 1 readiness should an 8th grade test include?
Enough to show whether linear relationships have landed. Slope, writing equations from tables, and interpreting intercepts in context are the strongest predictors of how a student will start Algebra 1.
Are dilations and transformations included?
Yes. Transformations on the coordinate plane, including dilations and their effect on side lengths and angles, are part of the grade 8 TEKS and appear in the generated tests when you select that strand.

Classroom assessment context

Build the assessment, not just the questions

MathQuizily helps teachers move from a topic or standard to a printable math test with answer keys, balanced difficulty, and classroom-ready PDF output.

A useful assessment should make the learning target clear, cover the intended skills, and give the teacher enough information to review the result before students see it. The workflow supports short quizzes, chapter checks, diagnostic tests, homework packets, make-up assessments, and equivalent retake versions.

Choose a grade, topic, curriculum context, and difficulty level. The generated PDF includes a student version and a separate worked answer key, so teachers can print, review, and grade without reformatting questions or building solutions from scratch. No student account is required to create or print a test.
