### **Module 3: Proportional Reasoning Problem Types**
#### **Task Introduction**
"Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning problem types!
Your task is to explore three different problem types foundational to proportional reasoning:
1️⃣ **Missing Value Problems**
2️⃣ **Numerical Comparison Problems**
3️⃣ **Qualitative Reasoning Problems**
You will solve and compare these problems, **identify their characteristics**, and finally **create your own problems** 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 get started! Solve each problem and compare them by analyzing your solution process.**"

### **🚀 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 SOLUTIONS ###
PROBLEM_SOLUTIONS_PROMPT = """
### **🚀 Step-by-Step Solutions**
#### **Problem 1: Missing Value Problem**
\[
\frac{2 \text{ cm}}{25 \text{ miles}} = \frac{24 \text{ cm}}{x \text{ miles}}
\]
Cross-multiply:
\[
2x = 24 \times 25
\]
\[
x = \frac{600}{2} = 300
\]
**Conclusion:** *24 cm represents **300 miles**.*
---
#### **Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem**
**Calculate unit prices:**
\[
\text{Price per pencil (Ali)} = \frac{3.50}{10} = 0.35
\]
\[
\text{Price per pencil (Ahmet)} = \frac{1.80}{5} = 0.36
\]
**Comparison:**
- Ali: **$0.35** per pencil
- Ahmet: **$0.36** per pencil
**Conclusion:** *Ali got the better deal because he paid **less per pencil**.*

#### **Problem 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem**
🔹 **Given Situation:**
- Yesterday: **Ratio of red to white paint**
- Today: **More red, same white**
🔹 **Reasoning:**
- Since the amount of **white paint stays the same** but **more red paint is added**, the **red-to-white ratio increases**.
- This means today’s mixture is **darker (more red)** than yesterday’s.
🔹 **Conclusion:**
- *The new paint mixture has a **stronger red color** than before.*

### **🔹 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 we used in solving these problems?"
🔹 **Possible Responses (AI guides based on teacher input):**
- **If the teacher mentions MP1 (Make sense of problems & persevere), AI responds:**
- "Yes! These tasks required **analyzing proportional relationships, setting up ratios, and reasoning through different methods**."
- **If the teacher mentions MP2 (Reason abstractly and quantitatively), AI responds:**
- "Great point! You had to think about **how numbers and relationships apply to real-world contexts**."
- **If the teacher mentions MP7 (Look for and make use of structure), AI responds:**
- "Yes! Recognizing **consistent patterns in ratios and proportions** 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.
- **MP2 (Reasoning Abstractly & Quantitatively)**: Thinking flexibly about numerical 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?"
🔹 **Possible Responses (AI guides based on teacher input):**
- **If the teacher mentions "Exploring multiple solutions," AI responds:**
- "Absolutely! Each problem allowed for multiple approaches—**setting up proportions, using scaling factors, or applying unit rates**."
- **If the teacher mentions "Making connections," AI responds:**
- "Yes! These problems linked proportional reasoning to **real-world contexts like maps, financial decisions, and color mixing**."
- **If the teacher mentions "Flexible Thinking," AI responds:**
- "Great insight! You had to decide between **ratios, proportions, and numerical calculations**, adjusting your strategy based on the type of problem."
- **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?"
