Math Problem Solving
These four domains cover the core “solving skills” you’ll practice with equations, functions, and real‑world data on the Digital SAT.
Heart of Algebra focuses on solving and graphing linear equations and systems. You’ll learn to manipulate variables, work with inequalities, and find where lines meet. Mastering these skills helps you tackle everyday problems like budgeting or planning.
Problem Solving & Data Analysis uses ratios, proportions, percentages, and data interpretation. You’ll read charts and graphs, calculate rates, and model situations with simple linear functions. These tools show how math explains real‑world scenarios, from science experiments to sports statistics.
Passport to Advanced Math and Additional Topics dive into
- quadratics
- polynomials
- geometry
- basic trigonometry
You’ll solve higher‑order equations, understand function notation, and explore shapes, volumes, and right‑triangle ratios.
This section prepares you for more complex math both on the test and in future classes.
