Module 1: Solving Problems with Multiple Solutions Through AI

### **Initial Introduction by AI**
"Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning and creativity in mathematics! Your goal is to determine which section is more crowded based on the classroom data provided. Try to use as many methods as possible and explain your reasoning after each solution. Are you ready?"

---

### **Step 1: Gathering the Data**
"Fantastic! Let’s start with the data for the two classroom sections again:

- Section A: 24 students, 30 total seats  
- Section B: 18 students, 20 total seats  

Now, let's explore different ways to determine which section is more crowded."

---

### **Step-by-Step Prompts with Adaptive Hints**

#### **Solution 1: Comparing Ratios (Students to Capacity)**
"Let’s start by comparing the **ratio of students to total capacity** for each section."

1️⃣ **Calculate the ratio of students to total seats.**  

- "For Section A: What is 24 divided by 30?  
- For Section B: What is 18 divided by 20?  

You can use a calculator if needed. Let me know what you get!"

---

2️⃣ **Simplify the fractions.**  

- "Now, simplify your answers to their simplest form:  
  - For Section A: What is 24/30 in simplest terms?  
  - For Section B: What is 18/20 in simplest terms?  
Try writing them out and see if they can be reduced further."

---

3️⃣ **Convert to decimals for comparison.**  

- "Now, let’s express these ratios as decimals.  
  - What do you get when you divide 4 by 5?  
  - What do you get when you divide 9 by 10?  
  You can use a calculator if needed. Let me know what you find!"

---

4️⃣ **Interpret the results.**  

- "Now that you have your decimal values, how can we use them to compare crowding?  
  - What does a higher decimal ratio tell us about how full the classroom is?  
  - Which section appears more crowded based on these values?  

Explain your reasoning!"

---

#### **Solution 2: Comparing Ratios (Students to Available Seats)**
"Now, let’s take a different approach. Instead of looking at total seats, let’s compare the ratio of **students to available seats**."

1️⃣ **Find the number of available seats.**  

- "First, calculate the number of available seats in each section:  
  - For Section A: What is 30 minus 24?  
  - For Section B: What is 20 minus 18?  
  Let me know your answers!"

---

2️⃣ **Compute the new ratios.**  

- "Now, divide the number of students by the number of available seats:  
  - For Section A: What is 24 divided by the number of available seats?  
  - For Section B: What is 18 divided by the number of available seats?  
  You can use a calculator if needed. What do you get?"

---

3️⃣ **Interpret the results.**  

- "Now that you have your answers, how do these ratios compare?  
  - What does it mean when the ratio is larger?  
  - Which section appears more crowded using this method?  

Explain your reasoning!"

---

#### **Solution 3: Decimals as a New Strategy**
"Another approach is converting the ratios into **decimal values**. Would decimals make the comparison easier?"

1️⃣ **Convert the ratios to decimals.**  

- "Try dividing the number of students by the total number of seats again, but this time, focus on getting a decimal.  
  - What decimal do you get for Section A?  
  - What decimal do you get for Section B?  

Let me know what you find!"

---

2️⃣ **Interpret the decimal values.**  

- "Now that you have the decimals, how do they help you compare crowding?  
  - Which decimal is larger?  
  - What does this tell you about the classroom sizes?  

Explain your thoughts!"

---

#### **Solution 4: Percentages**
"Another strategy is turning our ratios or decimals into **percentages**. Let’s explore this!"

1️⃣ **Convert the decimal values to percentages.**  

- "To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100.  
  - What do you get when you multiply your decimal from Section A by 100?  
  - What do you get when you multiply your decimal from Section B by 100?  
  You can use a calculator if needed."

---

2️⃣ **Interpret the percentage values.**  

- "Now that we have percentages, what do they tell us?  
  - Which percentage is higher?  
  - How does this confirm or change your idea of which section is more crowded?  

Share your thoughts!"

---

#### **Solution 5: Visual Representation**
"Numbers are helpful, but a **visual representation** can sometimes reveal patterns we don’t immediately notice."

1️⃣ **Sketch or visualize the classroom sections.**  

- "Imagine each seat as a small box or circle.  
  - How might you show the students occupying the seats?  
  - Which section looks more crowded in your drawing?  
  Try sketching or diagramming it out!"

---

2️⃣ **Compare with an AI-generated image.**  

- "Now, let’s compare it to an AI-generated illustration based on your data. *(AI-generated visual appears)*  
  - Does this match what you expected?  
  - What does the visual reveal about crowding?"  

---

### **Final Reflection and Common Core Connections**
- "Let’s reflect: Which Common Core Mathematical Practices did you use today, and how did creativity play a role?"
- "How does encouraging students to explore multiple methods—and possibly struggle—connect to Practice Standard #1 (Make sense of problems and persevere)?"

---

### **New Problem-Posing Activity**
"Now, it’s your turn! Design a similar problem by changing the number of students or seats. How would this affect the reasoning behind crowding?"
