This is just a memorization thing. To help you remember, maybe you could think about how Virginia is a big state that was divided into two states(Virginia/West Virginia) to remember that it wanted it based on population with a two-house legislature. For the New Jersey plan, you could remember that New Jersey is a small state and never divided to remember that it wanted equal representation in a one-house legislature.
Virginia's ideas consisted of a bicameral legislature based on population of the states. According to the Virginia Plan, Congress would be made of two parts, or houses. Representatives would be chosen according to the number of people who lived in each state. Roger Sherman created a House of Representative to compromise toward the benefit of large states like Virginia.
New Jersey's ideas consisted of one house legislator based on equal representation. According to the New Jersey Plan, there would be one house in Congress. Each state would have the same number of representatives, regardless of population. Roger Sherman created a Senate to compromise toward the benefit of small state like New Jersey.
