How the SOL reports it

Virginia SOL math is a state-specific assessment program built around the Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning rather than a shared national test framework. It is aligned to Virginia grade-level and course standards, which are generally CCSS-like in organization but are published as Virginia-specific standards.

Blueprint & weighting

SOL uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

A bar graph shows: Cats = 8, Dogs = 12, Birds = 5. How many more Dogs than Cats?

Subtract: 12−8=412 - 8 = 4.

What is the probability of flipping heads on a coin? Give a simplified fraction.

P=favorabletotal=12=12P = \dfrac{\text{favorable}}{\text{total}} = \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}.

A line plot shows the lengths of ribbons in inches: 3 ribbons at 18\tfrac{1}{8} and 1 ribbon at 58\tfrac{5}{8}. What is the total length of ribbon?

3×18+58=38+58=88=13 \times \tfrac{1}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{3}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{8}{8} = 1 inch.

A line plot shows value 5: 1 X's, value 6: 3 X's, value 7: 2 X's. How many data points in all?

Add the X counts: 1+3+2=61 + 3 + 2 = 6.

A bar graph shows: Apples = 10, Pears = 7, Plums = 3. How many in all?

Add the bars: 10+7+3=2010 + 7 + 3 = 20.

Practice playeasy

What is the probability of drawing an Ace from a deck? Give a simplified fraction.

P=favorabletotal=452=113P = \dfrac{\text{favorable}}{\text{total}} = \dfrac{4}{52} = \dfrac{1}{13}.

Practice playeasy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at 14\tfrac{1}{4}, 1 at 12\tfrac{1}{2}, 1 at 34\tfrac{3}{4}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =74= \tfrac{7}{4}.

Practice playeasy

A line plot shows value 5: 1 X's, value 6: 3 X's, value 7: 2 X's. Which value occurs most often?

The value with the most X's is 66 (it has 33).
