Countdown to the Science STAAR 2018 - PDF Blackline Master (5th & 8th Only)

The new Countdown to the Science STAAR gives your students essential practice on four different standards per page!


Countdown to the Science STAAR contains ten practice assessments! And each Countdown can be printed on just five sheets of paper (front and back)!


Your students don't work an entire Countdown in one sitting, though. That's completely unnecessary and discouraged. Instead, they simply work one or two pages a day as a quick in-class exercise or homework assignment during the 10 weeks preceding the STAAR.

In just 15 to 30 minutes a day, five days a week, your students complete the equivalent of a STAAR.

Whether it's worked as a daily warm-up or as a homework assignment, by the end of the tenth series your students will have worked over 360 exit-level problems!

That's powerful, especially if you opt to use all 10 of the provided practice assessments.

Recommended by teachers to use in the spring to prepare for the STAAR.


The Countdown to the Science STAAR includes:

  • Available for Grade 5 & 8
  • 10 STAAR original series
  • Improved graphics; cleaner layout
  • 100% aligned to new streamlined TEKS
  • Quick Track tracking sheet
  • List of Standards
  • 5th grade product
    • 36 problems per series
    • Covers 3rd, 4th, & 5th
  • 8th grade product
    • 42 problems per series
    • Covers 6th, 7th, & 8th

With the Quick Track sheet you can identify any deficiencies. You can easily address them with the mini-lessons in Fast Focus (5th grade only), which addresses each standard, one-by-one.

Countdown to the Science STAAR is a powerful product when used alone. Coupled with the new Science Fast Focus, it's an unbeatable combination! Just ask one of the thousands of Texas teachers who used the Countdown system last year!

Questions and Answers


Q: What do we get when we purchase a product from MathWarm-Ups.com?

A: You will receive one PDF master with copying rights per product for your grade. Our copyright license does not expire, so you can use our products year after year with no additional licensing cost. All products are in PDF format with the school name on each page.

Q: Why use MathWarm-Ups when I can use the TEA released tests?

A: Unfortunately, the TEA has only released one test!

Q: How does Countdown work?

A: As a whole, Countdown is the equivalent of ten STAAR tests. You don't give a whole test at once, though. You simply give your students one or two pages a day for five days (checking it daily). By the end of the week your students have worked an entire test, and you have a whole-test assessment. Imagine repeating this cycle ten times over the weeks just before the STAAR!

Q: Is Countdown practice or assessment?

A: It's both. Your students practice the STAAR standards each day (five to eight different standards). You assess their degree of mastery at the end of each week.

Q: Why is Countdown more effective than other STAAR prep programs?

A: Think about the average STAAR practice book. What do you get? A hundred pages of STAAR material broken down by standard? Maybe two or three pre and post assessment tests? That's a good start, but the notorious data dump phenomenon comes into play. You may cover Recording category 1 in January, but by the time the actual test arrives, your students have forgotten some/much/all of what they reviewed in January. Countdown keeps the standards fresh by exposing students to all of the standards on a weekly basis.

Q: What is Quick Track?

A: This is a simple tracking sheet that students fill out after checking a page of Countdown with their teacher. With one quick glance, you'll know which STAAR standards a student has or hasn't mastered. Quick Track gives you, your teachers and resource professionals the data to make the decisions. Students love it!

Q: How does Countdown work with Fast Focus?

A: After you've identified the standards your students haven't mastered (using Countdown and Quick Track), pull out Fast Focus for a quick tutorial. You've heard of data driven decisions, right? Countdown gives you the data, Fast Focus give you the resources to address the data!

Q: Is Countdown available in Spanish?

A: No. Unfortunately the Countdown to the Science is not available in Spanish. We strive to make our products available in high-quality Spanish versions and the Countdown to the Science has not been translated.
