Grade 66 mapped skills
What the test measures

Expressions and Equations skills

  1. Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions

  2. Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities

  3. Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M)-aligned domains; also aligned to state standards such as Virginia 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning — national

How the i-Ready reports it

i-Ready Diagnostic is a vendor-developed adaptive assessment, not a state test, but Curriculum Associates reports results and alignment against state standards such as Virginia SOL. The math coverage is organized by grade-level content domains that closely track Common Core-style strands rather than a single fixed claim structure.

Blueprint & weighting

No official per-domain blueprint or item-weight percentages were found on the official product page; i-Ready publishes adaptive diagnostic results and domain placements rather than a public fixed-item weight table.

Which expression is equivalent to 4x+9+x4x + 9 + x?

The terms 4x4x and xx are like terms: 4x+x=5x4x + x = 5x. The constant 99 stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to 5x+9.5x + 9\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Simplify: 2x−7−4x+32x - 7 - 4x + 3.

Combine: 2x+−4x=−2x2x + -4x = -2x, −7+3=−4-7 + 3 = -4. Result: −2x−4-2x - 4.

What is 24?2^{4}\textsf{?}

24=2⋅2⋅2⋅2=16.2^{4} = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Write 4×4×44 \times 4 \times 4 using an exponent.

The base 44 appears 33 times as a factor, so 4×4×4=434 \times 4 \times 4 = 4^{3}.

Practice playeasy

Evaluate: 6+4⋅5−56 + 4 \cdot 5 - 5.

Multiply first: 4⋅5=204 \cdot 5 = 20. Then 6+20−5=216 + 20 - 5 = 21.

Practice playeasy

Compute 222^2.

 22=2⋅2=4\,2^2 = 2 \cdot 2 = 4.

Practice playeasy

Which expression is equivalent to 10+t2−410 + t^{2} - 4?

The constants 1010 and −4-4 are like terms: 10−4=610 - 4 = 6. The term t2t^{2} stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to t2+6.t^{2} + 6\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Simplify: 4(7x+2)4(7x + 2).

Distribute 4: 4⋅7x+4⋅2=28x+84 \cdot 7x + 4 \cdot 2 = 28x + 8.
