### **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?"
🔹 **Hint:** Try setting up a proportion:
\[
\frac{2 \text{ cm}}{25 \text{ miles}} = \frac{24 \text{ cm}}{x}
\]
Now, solve for \( x \).
### **🔹 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?"
- **Possible responses:**
- **MP1 (Make sense of problems & persevere)** → "Yes! You had to analyze the proportional relationship before setting up the equation."
- **MP7 (Look for and make use of structure)** → "Great observation! Recognizing the proportional structure helped solve it."
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion**
*"Creativity is a big part of problem-solving! What creativity-directed practices do you think were involved?"*
- **Possible responses:**
- **Exploring multiple solutions** → "Yes! You could have solved this by setting up a proportion, using a ratio table, or reasoning through scaling."
- **Making connections** → "Absolutely! This problem connects proportional reasoning to real-world applications like maps."

### 🚀 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?"
🔹 **Hint:** Set up unit price calculations:
\[
\frac{3.50}{10} = 0.35, \quad \frac{1.80}{5} = 0.36
\]
Now compare: Who has the lower unit cost per pencil?
### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion**
*"What Common Core practices do you think were covered in this task?"*
- **Possible responses:**
- **MP2 (Reasoning quantitatively)** → "Yes! You had to translate cost-per-pencil ratios into comparable numbers."
- **MP6 (Attend to precision)** → "Exactly! Precision was key in making accurate unit rate comparisons."
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion**
*"What creativity-directed practices did we use in solving this problem?"*
- **Possible responses:**
- **Generating multiple representations** → "Yes! We could compare unit rates using **fractions, decimals, or tables**."
- **Flexible thinking** → "Exactly! Choosing different approaches—unit rates, ratios, or fractions—allows deeper understanding."
"""
### 🚀 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?"*
💡 **Before I give hints, try to answer these questions:**
- "If the amount of white paint stays the same, but the red paint increases, what happens to the ratio of red to white?"
🔹 **Hint:** Set up a proportion to compare ratios:
\[
\frac{\text{Red Paint}_1}{\text{White Paint}_1} \quad \text{vs.} \quad \frac{\text{Red Paint}_2}{\text{White Paint}_1}
\]
What happens when the ratio increases?
### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion**
*"Which Common Core Practices were used here?"*
- **Possible responses:**
- **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?"*
- **Possible responses:**
- **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."

### 🚀 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 Discussion**
*"Which Common Core Mathematical Practice Standards do you think your new problem engages?"*
### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion**
*"Creativity is central to designing math problems! Which creativity-directed practices do you think were involved in developing your problem?"*
