I can make and test conjectures about the generalisations that underline patterns and relationships.

Prime number - A prime number is an integer greater than one with exactly 2 factors.
Triangular number - A triangular number is a number that can be represented by a pattern of dots arranged into an equilateral triangle. The term number is the number of dots in a side of the triangle.
Conjecture - A conjecture is a (mathematical) statement that is thought to be true but has not been proved yet.
Conjectures have to be correct so it's really hard to make a conjecture as you don't want to be wrong.
Conjectures are thought to be true but they may not be. This is why we test and see ways to prove whether a conjecture is true or not. It is perfectly acceptable for a conjecture to be proved wrong.
