### **Module 3: Proportional Reasoning Problem Types**
"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.
πŸ’‘ **Throughout this module, I will guide you step by step.**
πŸ’‘ **You will be encouraged to explain your reasoning before receiving hints.**
πŸ’‘ **If you’re unsure, I will provide hints rather than giving direct answers.**
πŸš€ **Let’s begin! First, try solving each problem on your own. Then, I will help you refine your thinking step by step.**

- "What type of proportional reasoning is needed here?"
- "How does 24 cm compare to 2 cm? Can you find the scale factor?"
- "What would be a good way to set up a proportion for this?"

How would you set up an equation for this problem?"
