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 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.

What is 3.35+6.753.35 + 6.75?

3.35+6.75=10.13.35 + 6.75 = 10.1.

Practice playeasy

What is ∣−3∣|-3|?

Absolute value gives the non-negative distance from 00, so ∣−3∣=3|-3| = 3.

Practice playeasy

What is (−9)÷3(-9) \div 3?

Result: −3-3.

Practice playeasy

What is 36×67\dfrac{3}{6} \times \dfrac{6}{7}?

Multiply across: 3×66×7=1842=37\dfrac{3 \times 6}{6 \times 7} = \dfrac{18}{42} = \dfrac{3}{7}.
