Escape room style activity for STAAR review
This activity is a puzzle based, escape room style challenge activity where students receive clues, answer questions from released STAAR tests, get hints, and try to beat the clock to escape an alien ship.
I used a paired text from the 2017 5th grade released reading STAAR, it would be easy to simply delete the questions and have them complete questions from another grade level or even another subject.
They basically get a puzzle, then must answer 3 STAAR questions before you give them a hint

Multiple Choice Brain Teasers
The following brainteasers are not exactly like questions you see on standardized tests. However, there are a lot of similarities. Now that tests are more rigorous and require a higher level thought process, students need to take time thinking through questions and reading more carefully. Students are often impulsive and do not read carefully. They miss either what the question is asking or they miss tiny, yet important details. Also, they are easily thrown off by the distracter answer.

Place Value- Digital / Virtual Classroom
I use this digital place value pocket to show my virtual students how place value works. I typically use wood sticks at the same time to show with my hands, as well. Just drag the digital wood sticks to the correct place value. If you download it to Google slides, you don't have to save, but if you use Power Point, you have to save it every time to make sure you keep the work done.
