Virginia SOL Grade 5 Math Practice

Grade 5 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.

A four-function calculator is available only on eligible questions, including when Growth content rules permit it.

Standards represented in this grade pack

• 5.CE.1: The student will estimate, represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step and multistep contextual problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with whole numbers.
• 5.CE.2: The student will estimate, represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step and multistep problems, including those in context, using addition and subtraction of fractions with like and unlike denominators (with and without models), and solve single-step contextual problems involving multiplication of a whole number and a proper fraction, with models.
• 5.CE.3: The student will estimate, represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step and multistep problems, including those in context, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimal numbers.
• 5.CE.4: The student will simplify numerical expressions with whole numbers using the order of operations.
• 5.MG.1: The student will reason mathematically to solve problems, including those in context, that involve length, mass, and liquid volume using metric units.
• 5.MG.2: The student will use multiple representations to solve problems, including those in context, involving perimeter, area, and volume.
• 5.MG.3: The student will classify and measure angles and triangles, and solve problems, including those in context.
• 5.NS.1: The student will use reasoning and justification to identify and represent equivalency between fractions (with denominators that are thirds, eighths, and factors of 100) and decimals; and compare and order sets of fractions (proper, improper, and/or mixed numbers having denominators of 12 or less) and decimals (through thousandths).
• 5.NS.2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of prime and composite numbers, and determine the prime factorization of a whole number up to 100.
• 5.PFA.1: The student will identify, describe, extend, and create increasing and decreasing patterns with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, including those in context, using various representations.
• 5.PFA.2: The student will investigate and use variables in contextual problems.
• 5.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 line plots (dot plots) and stem-and-leaf plots.
• 5.PS.2: The student will solve contextual problems using measures of center and the range.
• 5.PS.3: The student will determine the probability of an outcome by constructing a model of a sample space and using the Fundamental (Basic) Counting Principle.
