Zearn Math for Texas embeds STAAR aligned practice into daily digital lessons, giving students structured exposure to the question types and formats they will encounter on the STAAR math assessment. As students work independently through digital lessons, they solve problems using interactive digital models that mirror question types from the STAAR redesign, including drag-and-drop, fraction models, equation editors, inline choice, and graphing.

In addition, Zearn provides teachers with over 120 paper-based STAAR-style practice problems per grade to support flexible, targeted review ahead of the state assessment.

Yes. Zearn Math for Texas is built specifically for Texas classrooms to align to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Zearn digital content includes terminology, definitions, and models that reflect Texas standards, ensuring students encounter the same language across classroom instruction and digital learning, all while providing exposure to instructional terms used on the STAAR assessment.

Zearn Math has received a “Strong” (Tier 1) rating from Evidence for ESSA — the highest designation from a nationally recognized, independent clearinghouse that evaluates education research to help schools, districts, and states select proven programs. Read the review.

This Tier 1 rating is based on a large-scale randomized controlled trial by RAND (2022–2024). The study, conducted across 10,000 students in grades 3–5 in 64 schools in a large urban Texas district, found causal evidence of positive, statistically significant impacts of Zearn on student math achievement, as measured by the nationally normed NWEA MAP Growth assessment.
