- Module 3: Proportional Reasoning Problem Types
3
- Task Introduction
4
- "Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning problem types! Your task is to explore three different problem types foundational to proportional reasoning: missing value problems, numerical comparison problems, and qualitative reasoning problems. You will solve and compare these problems, identify their characteristics, and finally create your own problems for each type. Let’s get started!"
5
- "Here are the three problems to investigate. Solve each problem and compare them by analyzing your solution process. Consider how they are similar and different."
6
- Problem 1: The scale on a map is 2 centimeters represents 25 miles. If a given measurement on the map is 24 centimeters, how many miles are represented?
7
- Problem 2: 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?
8
- Problem 3: Kim is making paint to use in art class. Yesterday, she mixed white and red paint together. Today, she used more red paint and the same amount of white paint to make her mixture. What can you say about the color of today’s mixture compared to yesterday’s mixture?
9
- Step-by-Step Prompts with Adaptive Hints for Solving Each Problem
10
- 1. Problem 1: Missing Value Problem
11
- Initial Prompt:
12
- "Can you solve this problem by finding the missing value? Think about how the given ratio (2 cm to 25 miles) relates to the new measurement (24 cm). What is the missing value?"
13
- Hints for Teachers Who Are Stuck:
14
- First Hint: "Start by setting up a proportion: 2 cm corresponds to 25 miles, so 24 cm corresponds to how many miles? How can you scale or multiply the given ratio to solve for the missing value?"
15
- Second Hint: "Divide 24 by 2 to determine the scaling factor, then multiply 25 miles by that same factor. What do you get?"
16
- If the Teacher Provides a Partially Correct Answer:
17
- "You’ve set up the proportion correctly! Now, how can you calculate the missing value? Did you multiply or scale the ratio accurately?"
18
- If the Teacher Provides an Incorrect Answer:
19
- "It looks like there’s an error in your setup. Remember, the ratio must remain equivalent. If 2 cm corresponds to 25 miles, 24 cm should correspond to a proportional increase. Can you try again?"
20
- If still incorrect: "The correct answer is 300 miles because 24 is 12 times larger than 2, and 25 miles scaled by 12 gives 300 miles."
21
- If the Teacher Provides a Correct Answer:
22
- "Great job! You correctly solved the missing value problem. This type of problem emphasizes finding an equivalent ratio by maintaining proportionality."
23
- 2. Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem
24
- Initial Prompt:
25
- "Can you solve this problem by comparing the unit prices for Ali’s and Ahmet’s pencils? Which one is the better deal?"
26
- Hints for Teachers Who Are Stuck:
27
- First Hint: "Find the unit price for each set of pencils. For example, divide the total price by the number of pencils. What do you get for Ali and Ahmet?"
28
- Second Hint: "Ali’s unit price is $3.50 ÷ 10 = $0.35 per pencil. Ahmet’s unit price is $1.80 ÷ 5 = $0.36 per pencil. How do these compare?"
29
- If the Teacher Provides a Partially Correct Answer:
30
- "You’ve calculated one of the unit prices—great! Can you calculate the other and then compare them?"
31
- If the Teacher Provides an Incorrect Answer:
32
- "It looks like there’s a small error in your calculation. Check your division for each unit price again: $3.50 ÷ 10 and $1.80 ÷ 5. Which one is smaller?"
33
- If still incorrect: "The correct answer is Ali got the better deal because his pencils cost $0.35 each compared to $0.36 for Ahmet’s."
34
- If the Teacher Provides a Correct Answer:
35
- "Well done! You compared the ratios accurately and determined that Ali’s pencils are slightly cheaper."
36
- 3. Problem 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem
37
- Initial Prompt:
38
- "Can you solve this problem by reasoning qualitatively? Think about how the ratio of red to white paint changes when Kim uses more red paint today compared to yesterday."
39
- Hints for Teachers Who Are Stuck:
40
- First Hint: "How does increasing the amount of red paint while keeping the white paint constant affect the mixture? Will the color become more red, less red, or the same?"
41
- Second Hint: "Try reasoning without numbers. Imagine the ratio of red to white paint yesterday and compare it to today’s ratio. What changes?"
42
- If the Teacher Provides a Partially Correct Answer:
43
- "You’re on the right track! You noticed the amount of red paint increased. What does that tell you about the overall color of the mixture?"
44
- If the Teacher Provides an Incorrect Answer:
45
- "It seems like there’s some confusion. Increasing the red paint while keeping the white paint constant makes the overall ratio more red. Can you try reasoning this way?"
46
- If the Teacher Provides a Correct Answer:
47
- "Excellent! You correctly reasoned that the mixture today is more red because the ratio of red to white paint increased."
48
- Reflection Prompts
49
- "Now that you’ve solved all three problems, how are they similar and how are they different? For example, how does the solution process for a missing value problem differ from qualitative reasoning?"
50
- "Why is it important to engage students with all three types of proportional reasoning problems? What mathematical skills do each type develop?"
51
- Problem Posing Activity
52
- Task Introduction
53
- "Now it’s your turn to create three proportional reasoning problems—one for each type: missing value, numerical comparison, and qualitative reasoning. Write your problems and explain how you would solve each one."
54
- Prompts to Guide Problem Posing
55
- "For your missing value problem, think of a situation where three values are provided, and the fourth is missing. For example, a recipe that scales ingredients or a map scale."
56
- "For your numerical comparison problem, think of a situation where two ratios are compared. For instance, unit prices, speeds, or efficiency."
57
- "For your qualitative reasoning problem, think of a situation where the relationship changes without using numbers. For example, mixtures, proportions of groups, or visual comparisons."
58
- AI Evaluation Prompts
59
- Evaluating Problem Feasibility:
60
- "Your problem involves [e.g., a map scale]. Does it align with the characteristics of a missing value problem? Can students solve it by finding an equivalent ratio?"
61
- Feedback:
62
- If Correct: "Great problem! It fits the missing value type perfectly and supports proportional reasoning."
63
- If Not Feasible: "This problem doesn’t fully align with the missing value type because [e.g., the relationship is not proportional]. How can you revise it to include proportionality?"
64
- Evaluating Solution Processes:
65
- "Does your solution pathway highlight the proportional relationship? For example, did you use scaling, unit rate, or equivalent ratios to solve your problem?"
66
- Feedback:
67
- If Correct: "Your solution process is clear and demonstrates proportional reasoning well. Nice work!"
68
- If Not Feasible: "It seems like your solution process doesn’t fully align with proportional reasoning. For example, scaling might be unclear. Can you adjust it?"
69
- Summary Prompts
70
- Content Knowledge
71
- "You learned the three types of proportional reasoning problems: missing value, numerical comparison, and qualitative reasoning. Each type develops unique mathematical skills."
72
- Creativity-Directed Practices
73
- "You applied problem posing as a creativity-directed task, writing problems that align with each type of proportional reasoning problem."
74
- Pedagogical Content Knowledge
75
- "You explored the importance of engaging students with diverse problem types and how the problem type influences the solution process. You also reflected on how to guide students through these tasks effectively."
