47 Assessment Guide for Educators: Mathematical Reasoning Appendix C Reporting Category 3: Linear equations and expressions Examples of skills measured in Mathematics Reporting Category 3: • Writing linear mathematical expressions and equations that correspond to given situations • Evaluating the expressions for specific values of the variable • Solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems of linear equations and find the equation of a line with varying criteria • Interpreting slope of a line as rate of change or unit rate Reporting Category 4: Function concepts and nonlinear expressions and equations Examples of skills measured in Mathematics Reporting Category 4: • Understanding and applying the concept of a function • Using function notation • Translating a variety of representations of a function, including tables and equations • Solving quadratic equations • Interpreting key features of both linear and nonlinear functions Important note regarding the Mathematical Reasoning reporting categories: Although the Mathematical Practices are an important aspect of what is assessed on the Mathematical Reasoning test module, you may note that the practices are not directly reflected in the reporting categories as described above. This is due to the fact that the Mathematical Practices are integrated only into some, but not all, items on the Mathematical Reasoning test. Test-takers, however, will be receiving much more detailed information both on the skills they possess and on those they need to develop than ever before. With this additional information, adult educators will be in a position to focus their work with test-takers on critical skill development needs. The reporting information provided by the GED® test is one of the most important elements of the new assessment system. Gaining
