The WY-TOPP Grade 9 Mathematics Summative Assessment is Wyoming's official computer-adaptive end-of-grade math evaluation administered each spring by the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) and Cambium Assessment. The target cut score for the Proficient level is 617, with student performance categorized into four achievement levels: Below Basic (≤572), Basic (573–616), Proficient (617–667), and Advanced (≥668). The assessment evaluates standards across four primary domains: Algebra (~35%), Functions (~30%), Statistics & Probability (~20%), and Number & Quantity (~15%). The test is untimed, computer-adaptive, and provided in both English and Spanish ('en', 'es').

Sample WY-TOPP Grade 9 Math Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the WY-TOPP Grade 9 Math exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What is the solution to the equation 4x - 9 = 15?
A.x = 3
B.x = 5
C.x = 6
D.x = 9
Explanation: Add 9 to both sides to get 4x = 24. Then divide by 4 to get x = 6.
2What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 3) and (4, 12)?
A.m = 2
B.m = 3
C.m = 4
D.m = 9
Explanation: The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Substituting the points: m = (12 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 9 / 3 = 3.
3Simplify the expression: (3x^2)(4x^5)
A.7x^7
B.12x^7
C.12x^10
D.7x^10
Explanation: Multiply the coefficients (3 * 4 = 12) and add the exponents of like bases (x^2 * x^5 = x^(2+5) = x^7). The result is 12x^7.
4What is the value of 2a + 3b when a = -4 and b = 5?
A.7
B.-7
C.23
D.-23
Explanation: Substitute a = -4 and b = 5: 2(-4) + 3(5) = -8 + 15 = 7.
5Which inequality represents the solution to 2x + 5 < 13?
A.x < 4
B.x > 4
C.x < 9
D.x > 9
Explanation: Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x < 8. Divide both sides by 2: x < 4.
6Simplify: 5(2x - 3) - 3(x + 4)
A.7x - 27
B.7x - 3
C.7x + 27
D.13x - 27
Explanation: Distribute: 5(2x) + 5(-3) - 3(x) - 3(4) = 10x - 15 - 3x - 12. Combine like terms: (10x - 3x) + (-15 - 12) = 7x - 27.
7What is the x-intercept of the line given by the equation 3x + 2y = 12?
A.(0, 6)
B.(4, 0)
C.(6, 0)
D.(0, 4)
Explanation: To find the x-intercept, set y = 0: 3x + 2(0) = 12 => 3x = 12 => x = 4. The x-intercept point is (4, 0).
8What is the solution to the system of equations: x + y = 10 and x - y = 4?
A.(7, 3)
B.(6, 4)
C.(8, 2)
D.(5, 5)
Explanation: Add the two equations to eliminate y: (x + y) + (x - y) = 10 + 4 => 2x = 14 => x = 7. Substitute x = 7 into x + y = 10 => 7 + y = 10 => y = 3. The solution is (7, 3).
9Which of the following is the factored form of x^2 - 9?
A.(x - 3)^2
B.(x + 3)^2
C.(x - 3)(x + 3)
D.(x - 9)(x + 1)
Explanation: x^2 - 9 is a difference of squares a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b), where a = x and b = 3. Thus, x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3).
10What are the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2 - 16 = 0?
A.x = 4 only
B.x = -4 only
C.x = 4 and x = -4
D.x = 8 and x = -8
Explanation: Add 16 to both sides: x^2 = 16. Taking the square root of both sides gives x = ±sqrt(16) = ±4.
