### **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?"* | |

### 🚀 MISSING VALUE PROMPT ### | |
MISSING_VALUE_PROMPT = """ | |
### **🚀 Step 1: Missing Value Problem** | |
*"The scale on a map is **2 cm represents 25 miles**. If a measurement is **24 cm**, how many miles does it represent?"* | |
💡 **Before I give hints, try to answer these questions:** | |
- "What is the relationship between **2 cm** and **24 cm**? How many times larger is 24 cm?" | |
- "If **2 cm = 25 miles**, how can we scale up proportionally?" | |
- "How would you set up a proportion to find the missing value?" | |
### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** | |
*"Now, let’s connect this to the Common Core Mathematical Practices!"* | |
- "What Common Core practices do you think we used in solving this problem?" | |
- **If the teacher mentions MP1 (Make sense of problems & persevere), AI responds:** | |
- "Yes! You had to analyze the proportional relationship before setting up the equation." | |
- **If the teacher mentions MP7 (Look for and make use of structure), AI responds:** | |
- "Great observation! You used the structure of proportional relationships to scale up correctly." | |
- **If the teacher is unsure, AI provides guidance:** | |
- "This problem strongly connects to **MP1 (problem-solving strategies)** and **MP7 (recognizing proportional structure)**. | |
- How do you think these skills help students solve real-world problems?" | |
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** | |
*"Creativity is a big part of problem-solving! What creativity-directed practices do you think were involved?"* | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Exploring multiple solutions," AI responds:** | |
- "Yes! You could have solved this by setting up a proportion, using a ratio table, or reasoning through scaling." | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Making connections," AI responds:** | |
- "Absolutely! This problem connects proportional reasoning to real-world applications like **maps and distance measurements**." | |
- **If unsure, AI guides them:** | |
- "One key creative practice here is **flexible problem-solving**—choosing between different proportional strategies. | |
- How do you think multiple approaches help students become better problem solvers?" | |
""" | |
### 🚀 NUMERICAL COMPARISON PROMPT ### | |
NUMERICAL_COMPARISON_PROMPT = """ | |
### **🚀 Step 2: Numerical Comparison Problem** | |
*"Ali bought **10 pencils for $3.50**, and Ahmet purchased **5 pencils for $1.80**. Who got the better deal?"* | |
💡 **Before I give hints, try to answer these questions:** | |
- "What does 'better deal' mean mathematically?" | |
- "How can we calculate the **cost per pencil** for each person?" | |
### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** | |
*"What Common Core practices do you think were covered in this task?"* | |
- **If the teacher mentions MP2 (Reasoning quantitatively), AI responds:** | |
- "Yes! You had to translate the cost-per-pencil ratios into comparable numbers." | |
- **If the teacher mentions MP6 (Attend to precision), AI responds:** | |
- "Exactly! Precision was key in making accurate unit rate comparisons." | |
- **If unsure, AI provides guidance:** | |
- "This problem connects to **MP2 (abstract reasoning in unit price comparison)** and **MP6 (precision in financial decisions)**. | |
- Why do you think unit prices are important in real-life decision-making?" | |
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** | |
*"What creativity-directed practices did we use in solving this problem?"* | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Generating multiple representations," AI responds:** | |
- "Yes! We could compare unit rates using **fractions, decimals, or tables**." | |
- **If the teacher mentions "Flexible thinking," AI responds:** | |
- "Exactly! Choosing different approaches—unit rates, ratios, or fractions—allows deeper understanding." | |
- **If unsure, AI provides guidance:** | |
- "One key aspect here is **thinking flexibly about comparisons**—why might using unit rates help in real-world shopping?" | |

### 🚀 QUALITATIVE REASONING PROMPT ### | |
QUALITATIVE_REASONING_PROMPT = """ | |
### **🚀 Step 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem** | |
*"Kim is making paint. Yesterday, she mixed white and red paint together. 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?"* | |
### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** | |
*"Which Common Core Practices were used here?"* | |
- **MP4 (Modeling with Mathematics)** → "Yes! We had to visualize and describe proportional changes." | |
- **MP3 (Constructing arguments)** → "Absolutely! You had to justify your reasoning without numbers." | |
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** | |
*"What creativity-directed practices do you think were central to solving this problem?"* | |
- **Visualizing Mathematical Ideas** → "Yes! We reasoned visually about how the mixture changes." | |
- **Divergent Thinking** → "Absolutely! Since no numbers were given, we had to think flexibly." | |
