4. •Centimeter ruler is found on left of the formula
side of the reference chart
•Triangle, rectangle, parallelogram and trapezoid
all have only one area formula
7th Grade
5. •Under Volume, it is important to remember that “B
represents the area of the base”
7th Grade
6. 8th Grade
•The 8th Grade STAAR Reference Materials are very
similar to the 7th, so we will highlight only differences
7. •It is important to state to remember that “P represents the
perimeter of the base”
8th Grade
8. Algebra 1
•New Chart For Just Algebra I
•All Measurement Conversions Dropped
•Both Rulers Removed
12. What else can I use my
Math Chart for?
Conversions in length,
Outline the length section yellow.
13. What else can I use my
Math Chart for?
Conversions in volume
Outline volume and capacity green.
14. What else can I use my
Math Chart for?
Conversions in weight
Outline weight and mass orange.
15. What else can I use my
Math Chart for?
Conversions in time.
Outline the time section purple.
16. We will use our Math chart to help us find
the perimeter, circumference, and area of
two dimensional shapes such as
squares, rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, an
d circles.
Outline perimeter section red.
What about all those formulas?
17. What about all those
formulas?
Outline the circumference section yellow.
18. What about all those
formulas?
Outline the area section blue.
19. More formulas???
Surface area can be used when we work
with 3-dimensional objects such as
cubes, prisms, pyramids, and cylinders.
Surface area is the area of each side of a
figure.
Outline the surface area section
green.
20. More formulas???
Volume can be used when we work with 3-
dimensional objects such as
cubes, prisms, pyramids, and cylinders.
Volume is the amount a figure can hold.
Outline the volume section orange.
21. Want some Pi (π) ???
Pi (π) is ~ 3.14 or 22
7
Outline your piece of Pi Pink.
22. Whose theorem is this???
Pythagorean’s Theorem a2 + b2 = c2
Outline your Pythagorean section
purple.
23. My Reference Chart
Instructions: You will read the given word problems then circle the important information and
underline the question. After you have read the problem and circled or underlined the important
information you will use your STAAR reference chart to find the information needed to solve the
problem. Outline the answer box with the corresponding color on your reference chart DO NOT
WORK THE PROBLEMS!!!
