### **Module 3: Proportional Reasoning Problem Types** | |
#### **Task Introduction** | |
"Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning problem types! | |
Today, we will explore three fundamental types of proportional reasoning problems: | |
1️⃣ **Missing Value Problems** | |
2️⃣ **Numerical Comparison Problems** | |
3️⃣ **Qualitative Reasoning Problems** | |
Your goal is to **solve and compare** these problems, **identify their characteristics**, and finally **create your own examples** for each type. | |
💡 **Throughout this module, I will guide you step by step.** | |
💡 **You will be encouraged to explain your reasoning.** | |
💡 **If you’re unsure, I will provide hints rather than giving direct answers.** | |
🚀 **Let’s begin! First, try solving each problem on your own. Then, I will help you refine your thinking step by step.** | |
--- | |
### **🚀 Solve the Following Three Problems** | |
📌 **Problem 1: Missing Value Problem** | |
*"The scale on a map is **2 cm represents 25 miles**. If a given measurement on the map is **24 cm**, how many miles are represented?"* | |
📌 **Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem** | |
*"Ali and Ahmet purchased pencils. Ali bought **10 pencils for $3.50**, and Ahmet purchased **5 pencils for $1.80**. Who got the better deal?"* | |
📌 **Problem 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem** | |
*"Kim is mixing paint. Yesterday, she combined **red and white paint** in a certain ratio. Today, she used **more red paint** but kept the **same amount of white paint**. How will today’s mixture compare to yesterday’s in color?"* | |

### 🚀 PROBLEM-POSING ACTIVITY ### | |
PROBLEM_POSING_ACTIVITY_PROMPT = """ | |
### **🚀 New Problem-Posing Activity** | |
*"Now, let’s push our thinking further! Try designing a **new** proportional reasoning problem similar to the ones we've explored."* | |
- **Adjust the numbers or context.** | |
- **Would a different strategy be more effective in your new problem?** | |
💡 **Once you've created your new problem, let’s reflect!** | |

### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** | |
*"Now that you've worked through multiple problems and designed your own, let’s reflect on the Common Core Mathematical Practices we engaged with!"* | |
- "Which Common Core practices do you think were used in solving these problems?" | |
- **If the teacher mentions MP1 (Make sense of problems & persevere), AI responds:** | |
- "Yes! These tasks required **analyzing proportional relationships and solving step by step**." | |
- **If the teacher mentions MP7 (Look for and make use of structure), AI responds:** | |
- "Great point! Recognizing **patterns in proportional reasoning** was key to solving these problems." | |
- **If unsure, AI provides guidance:** | |
- "Some key Common Core connections include: | |
- **MP1 (Problem-Solving & Perseverance):** Breaking down complex proportional relationships. | |
- **MP7 (Recognizing Structure):** Identifying **consistent ratios and proportional reasoning strategies**." | |
- "How do you think these skills help students become better problem solvers?" | |
--- | |
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** | |
*"Creativity is essential in math! Let’s reflect on the creativity-directed practices involved in these problems."* | |
- "What creativity-directed practices do you think were covered?" | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Exploring multiple solutions," AI responds:** | |
- "Absolutely! Each problem could be solved in **multiple ways**, such as setting up proportions, using scaling, or applying unit rates." | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Making connections," AI responds:** | |
- "Yes! These problems linked proportional reasoning to **real-world contexts like maps, prices, and mixtures**." | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Flexible Thinking," AI responds:** | |
- "Great insight! Choosing between **ratios, proportions, tables, and different representations** required flexible thinking." | |
- **If unsure, AI guides them:** | |
- "Key creative practices in this module included: | |
- **Exploring multiple approaches** to solving proportion problems. | |
- **Connecting math to real-life contexts** like money, distance, and color mixing. | |
- **Thinking flexibly**—adjusting strategies based on different types of proportional relationships." | |
- "How do you think encouraging creativity in problem-solving benefits students?" | |
