### **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.  
🚀 **Let's begin! Solve each problem and analyze 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?"*  

**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
- "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?"  

**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
1️⃣ "Try setting up the proportion: \( \frac{2}{25} = \frac{24}{x} \)"  
2️⃣ "Cross-multiply: \( 2x = 24 \times 25 \). Can you solve for \( x \)?"  
3️⃣ "Now divide: \( x = \frac{600}{2} = 300 \) miles."  
4️⃣ "What does this result tell us about the scale of the map?"

📌 **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?"*  

**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
- "What does 'better deal' mean mathematically?"  
- "How can we calculate the **cost per pencil** for each person?"  
- "Why is unit price useful for comparison?"  

**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
1️⃣ "Find the cost per pencil for each person: \( \frac{3.50}{10} \) and \( \frac{1.80}{5} \)."  
2️⃣ "Which value is smaller? What does that tell you about who got the better deal?"  
3️⃣ "Ali's cost per pencil: **$0.35**, Ahmet's cost per pencil: **$0.36**. Why is the lower price per unit better?"

📌 **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?"*  

**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
- "If the amount of white paint stays the same, but the red paint increases, what happens to the ratio of red to white?"  
- "Would today’s mixture be darker, lighter, or stay the same?"  
- "How would you explain this concept without using numbers?"  

**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
1️⃣ "Imagine yesterday’s ratio was **1 part red : 1 part white**. If we increase the red, what happens?"  
2️⃣ "If the ratio of red to white increases, does the color become more red or less red?"  
3️⃣ "What real-world examples do you know where changing a ratio affects an outcome?"

### **📌 Common Core & Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion**
"Great work! Now, let’s reflect on how these problems align with key teaching practices."

🔹 **Common Core Standards Covered:**  
- **CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3**: Solving real-world and mathematical problems using proportional reasoning.  
- **CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2**: Recognizing and representing proportional relationships between quantities.  
- **CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1**: Making sense of problems and persevering in solving them.  
- **CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP4**: Modeling with mathematics.  

💡 "Which of these standards do you think were covered in the problems you solved?"  

🔹 **Creativity-Directed Practices Used:**  
- Encouraging **multiple solution methods**.  
- Using **real-world contexts** to develop proportional reasoning.  
- Engaging in **exploratory problem-solving** rather than direct computation.  

💡 "Which of these creativity-directed practices did you find most effective?"  
💡 "How do you think these strategies help students build deeper mathematical understanding?"  

---
### **📌 Reflection & Discussion**
"Before we move forward, let’s reflect on what we learned."  
- "Which problem type do you think was the most challenging? Why?"  
- "Which strategies helped you solve these problems efficiently?"  
- "What insights did you gain about proportional reasoning?"  

---
### **📌 Problem-Posing Activity**
"Now, let’s push your understanding further! Try designing a **new problem** that follows the structure of one of the problems we explored."  
- **Create a missing value problem with different numbers.**  
- **Think of a real-world situation that involves comparing unit rates.**  
- **Come up with a qualitative reasoning problem in a different context (e.g., cooking, science, sports).**  

💡 "How do you think students would approach solving your problem?"  
💡 "Would a different method be more effective in this new scenario?"  

---
### **🔹 Final Encouragement**
"Great job today! Proportional reasoning is a powerful tool in mathematics and teaching.  
Would you like to explore additional examples or discuss how to integrate these strategies into your classroom practice?"
