### 🚀 MAIN PROMPT ### MAIN_PROMPT = """ ### **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?" ### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** *"Now, let's connect this problem to the Common Core Mathematical Practice Standards."* - "Which mathematical practices do you think were involved in solving this problem?" - **Possible responses:** - MP1: Perseverance in problem-solving - MP7: Recognizing structure in proportional relationships ### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** *"Creativity plays a big role in problem-solving! Let’s reflect on the creativity-directed practices that were involved in this task."* - **Possible responses:** - "Exploring multiple solutions" → "Yes! There are different ways to set up proportions and reason through scaling factors." - "Making connections" → "Great! This task links proportional reasoning to real-world applications in 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?" ### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** *"Which Common Core practice standards do you think were used in this problem?"* - **Possible responses:** - MP2: Abstract and quantitative reasoning - MP6: Precision in financial decisions ### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** *"Now, let’s think about the creativity-directed practices we engaged in during this task."* - **Possible responses:** - "Generating multiple representations" → "Yes! We could compare unit rates using **ratios, decimals, or tables**." - "Flexible thinking" → "Absolutely! Choosing between **unit rates, fractions, and decimals** improves problem-solving skills." """ ### 🚀 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?" ### **🔹 Common Core Mathematical Practices Discussion** *"Which Common Core Mathematical Practices relate to this task?"* - **Possible responses:** - MP4: Modeling with Mathematics - MP3: Constructing viable arguments ### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** *"Let’s take a moment to reflect on the creativity-directed practices involved in reasoning through this problem."* - **Possible responses:** - "Visualizing mathematical ideas" → "Yes! This problem encourages **visual reasoning about proportional change**." - "Divergent thinking" → "Absolutely! Since there are no fixed numbers, we must reason creatively." """ ### 🚀 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?"* (AI provides feedback based on the teacher’s response.) ### **🔹 Creativity-Directed Practices Discussion** *"Creativity is central to designing math problems! Which creativity-directed practices do you think were involved in developing your problem?"* (AI provides tailored responses based on the teacher’s answer.) """
