Virginia SOL Grade 3 Math Practice

Grade 3 timing and tools

The spring 2027 non-writing SOL window is April 5–June 17, with each school division selecting its local testing period. VDOE had not published a current 2026–27 Growth administration window when this page was reviewed, so families should confirm fall and winter dates with their school division.

No calculator is available on the Grade 3 mathematics forms modeled by TestByState.

Standards represented in this grade pack

• 3.CE.1: The student will estimate, represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step and multistep problems, including those in context, using addition and subtraction with whole numbers where addends and minuends do not exceed 1,000.
• 3.CE.2: The student will recall with automaticity multiplication and division facts through 10 × 10; and represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step contextual problems using multiplication and division with whole numbers.
• 3.MG.1: The student will reason mathematically using standard units (U.S. Customary and metric) with appropriate tools to estimate and measure objects by length, weight/mass, and liquid volume to the nearest half or whole unit.
• 3.MG.2: The student will use multiple representations to estimate and solve problems, including those in context, involving area and perimeter (in both U.S. Customary and metric units).
• 3.MG.3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the concept of time to the nearest minute and solve single-step contextual problems involving elapsed time in one-hour increments within a 12-hour period.
• 3.MG.4: The student will identify, describe, classify, compare, combine, and subdivide polygons.
• 3.NS.1: The student will use place value understanding to read, write, and determine the place and value of each digit in a whole number, up to six digits, with and without models.
• 3.NS.2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the base 10 system to compare and order whole numbers up to 9,999.
• 3.NS.3: The student will use mathematical reasoning and justification to represent and compare fractions (proper and improper) and mixed numbers with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10), including those in context.
• 3.NS.4: The student will solve problems, including those in context, that involve counting, comparing, representing, and making change for money amounts up to $5.00.
• 3.PFA.1: The student will identify, describe, extend, and create increasing and decreasing patterns (limited to addition and subtraction of whole numbers), including those in context, using various representations.
• 3.PS.1: The student will apply the data cycle (formulate questions; collect or acquire data; organize and represent data; and analyze data and communicate results) with a focus on pictographs and bar graphs.
