OR SBAC Grade 8 Concepts and Procedures. Practice it free.

Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. Targets are clusters of the 2021 Oregon K-12 Math Standards; the 2025-26 blueprint draws 10 of the grade 8 CAT's 19 items from these targets — 7 from priority target sets, 3 from supporting. This Grade 8 reporting domain maps to 26 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.

Standards basis

2021 Oregon K-12 Math Standards (CCSS-M-derived Oregon standards, with renamed domains and an added Data Reasoning strand) — Oregon

How the OR SBAC reports it

Oregon's statewide summative math test — part of OSAS, the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (the landing slug keeps the legacy OAKS name) — is developed through Smarter Balanced: a computer-adaptive test plus a performance task, organized into the four Smarter Balanced claims. Since aligning to the 2021 Oregon K-12 Math Standards, Oregon publishes its own blueprint rather than the consortium's: Claim 1 assessment targets carry Oregon cluster codes with renamed/regrouped domains (GM geometric measurement and DR data reasoning replace MD and SP; AEE and AFN replace EE and F; grade 7 probability moves to 7.RP.B), each cross-referenced to its former Smarter Balanced letter target, plus new Oregon-developed Data Reasoning targets field tested in 2024-25. Claims 2-4 keep the Smarter Balanced process targets (Claim 4 without the consortium's Target G, and Claim 3 Target G appearing on the grade 6-8 and 11 blueprints only). Claim 1 targets are grouped into priority and supporting target sets with published per-set item counts.

Blueprint & weighting

OSAS Summative Mathematics Test Blueprints (2025-26, last updated 12/22/2025): each grade's CAT draws 10 Claim 1 items in grades 3-8 (7 from priority target sets and 3 from supporting; 6 and 4 in grade 5) and 13 in grade 11 (9 priority, 4 supporting), 3 items from combined Claims 2 and 4, 4 Claim 3 items, and 2 unscored field-test items — 19 CAT items total in grades 3-8, 22 in grade 11. The performance task adds 4-6 items: 1-2 Claim 2, 0-2 Claim 3, 1-3 Claim 4, and no Claim 1 items (PTs assess the practice standards, drawing scenarios from across Claim 1 content domains). Per-target-set item counts are published in the blueprint tables; no percentage weighting is published.

A trend line predicts Mia will spell 1818 words correctly in a spelling bee. She actually spells 2121 words correctly. What is the residual (actual minus predicted)?

Residual =2118=3= 21 - 18 = 3 words.

A two-way table has rows Bike/Scooter and columns Morning/Afternoon: Bike&Morning=11, Bike&Afternoon=7, Scooter&Morning=5. In all, 29 trips were recorded. How many trips are Scooter&Afternoon?

The three known cells sum to 11+7+5=2311+7+5=23, so the missing cell is 2923=629-23=6.

A rectangular prism has length 22, width 33, and height 44. What is its volume?

V=2×3×4=24V = 2 \times 3 \times 4 = 24.

What is the distance from (0,0)(0, 0) to (5,12)(5, 12)?

52+122=25+144=169=13\sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{25 + 144} = \sqrt{169} = 13.

Simplify: y6y3y^{6} \cdot y^{3}.

The Product of Powers Property says that powers with the same base are multiplied by adding the exponents, written ymyn=ym+n.y^{m} \cdot y^{n} = y^{m+n}\textsf{.} Both factors have base yy, so y6y3=y6+3=y9.y^{6} \cdot y^{3} = y^{6+3} = y^{9}\textsf{.}

Let f(t)=6e2tf(t) = 6e^{2t}. Which of the following approximations, written as a×10na \times 10^n with one significant digit, is closest to the value of f(5)f(5)?

Substitute t=5t = 5: f(5)=6e10f(5) = 6e^{10}. Since e1022,026e^{10} \approx 22{,}026, f(5)6(22,026)=132,1561×105f(5) \approx 6(22{,}026) = 132{,}156 \approx 1 \times 10^{5}.

What is the yy-intercept of the line y=34x7y = \dfrac{3}{4}x - 7?

In y=mx+by = mx + b, the yy-intercept is b=7b = -7.

Practice playeasy

Which system below has no solution?

Both equations have slope 1-1 but different yy-intercepts (66 and 2-2), so the lines are parallel and the system has no solution.
