54 Assessment Guide for Educators: Mathematical Reasoning Appendix D Hypothesis (do not substitute generalization, conclusion, claim, stance, position, assumption, inference): a proposition or set of propositions set forth as an explanation for a group of facts or phenomena; conjecture that is a guide for investigation Idea (do not substitute theme, detail): any conception resulting from mental understanding, awareness, or activity Inference/infer (do not substitute interpret, summarize, analyze, hypothesize): to conclude by reasoning from evidence that which is not explicitly stated Information (do not substitute data): knowledge gained through experience or study. More abstract and general than “data. ” Interpret (do not substitute infer, summarize, analyze): to provide the meaning of, or explain, that which is explicitly stated or displayed graphically or symbolically Justify (do not substitute support): to show a claim or statement to be writing, especially using evidence Linear equation (do not substitute expression, function, quadratic equation): an equation containing one or two variables of the first degree (that is, no exponents); when graphed on the coordinate plane, a linear equation presents as a straight line Modeling: the process of using mathematical concepts, language, symbols, and/or diagrams to represent situations in mathematical terms Perimeter (do not substitute circumference): the distance around a two-dimensional figure, such as a rectangle or other polygon (See circumference—these concepts are closely related) Permutation (do not substitute combination): a uniquely ordered arrangement of objects Polynomial (do not substitute expression, function): some combination of constants and/or variables, comprised of multiple terms (See expression—these concepts are closely related) Premise (do not substitute conclusion, assumption, hypothesis): a basis, stated or assumed, on which reasoning proceeds Prediction (do not substitute conclusion, assumption, reasoning, premise, hypothesis): A statement of something in advance of occurrence, especially on a reasoned or evidentiary basis
