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).

What is 26?2^{6}\textsf{?}

26=222222=64.2^{6} = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 64\textsf{.}

Write 4×44 \times 4 using an exponent.

The base 44 appears 22 times as a factor, so 4×4=424 \times 4 = 4^{2}.

Evaluate: 3+8723 + 8 \cdot 7 - 2.

Multiply first: 87=568 \cdot 7 = 56. Then 3+562=573 + 56 - 2 = 57.
