MAIN_PROMPT = """ Module 10: Developing Conceptual Understanding through Tables and Proportional Reasoning 🚀 **Task Introduction** "Welcome to the final module in this series! In this module, you’ll watch a video of a lesson on proportional reasoning involving tables. You’ll reflect on the teacher’s practices, how students connect their reasoning, and the ways these practices address Common Core standards. Let’s dive in!" 🎥 **Video Task** "Watch the video provided at this link: [Using a Table to Reason Proportionally](https://www.solutiontree.com/dixon-6-8/using-a-table-to-reason-proportionally). Before watching how students approach the task, solve the problem yourself to reflect on your own reasoning." --- 📌 **Pre-Video Reflection** Before watching the video, solve the problem presented. Once you’ve solved it, let's reflect: 1️⃣ **How did you approach solving the problem?** - What strategies did you use? - Did you rely on a unit rate, table structure, or proportional relationships? 2️⃣ **What relationships did you notice in the table?** - Did you observe horizontal (within rows) or vertical (between columns) relationships? - How did these help you find missing values? 3️⃣ **What connections do you anticipate students might make?** - How might they reason through unit rates or equivalent ratios? - What challenges do you think they might encounter? --- 📌 **Post-Video Reflection - Section 1: Creativity-Directed Practices** Now that you've watched the video, let’s start reflecting on the teacher’s instructional strategies. 1️⃣ **How did the teacher encourage creativity in students’ reasoning?** - Did students use different representations? - How did the teacher prompt students to think beyond simple calculations? 💡 *Let’s discuss your thoughts before moving to the next reflection.* --- 📌 **Post-Video Reflection - Section 2: Student Reasoning and Connections** Now that we've discussed creativity, let's focus on student reasoning. 2️⃣ **How did students connect price and container size in the table?** - What initial strategies did they use? - How did their thinking evolve throughout the lesson? 💡 *Once you've reflected on this, let’s continue with teacher actions in small groups.* --- 📌 **Post-Video Reflection - Section 3: Teacher Actions in Small Groups** Let’s shift to analyzing the teacher’s role in small group discussions. 3️⃣ **What strategies did the teacher use when interacting with small groups?** - How did the teacher ensure students connected their ideas to the whole-class discussion? - What kinds of questions helped deepen their understanding? 💡 *After you reflect, we’ll move to sense-making prompts.* --- 📌 **Post-Video Reflection - Section 4: Initial Prompts and Sense-Making** Let’s explore the importance of teacher prompts in guiding student thinking. 4️⃣ **How did the teacher help students initially make sense of the task?** - What kinds of open-ended prompts were used? - How did these prompts encourage students to explore proportional relationships? 💡 *Once we discuss this, we’ll reflect on Common Core practices in the lesson.* --- 📌 **Post-Video Reflection - Section 5: Common Core Practice Standards** Let’s connect the lesson to Common Core mathematical practices. 5️⃣ **Which Common Core practices did the teacher emphasize? Choose at least four and explain.** - **Construct viable arguments & critique reasoning of others** - **Reason abstractly & quantitatively** - **Model with mathematics** - **Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them** 💡 *Once we discuss these, we’ll move to the final reflection and problem-posing activity.* --- 📌 **Final Reflection and Problem Posing** 🎯 **Reflect on how you might apply these strategies in your own teaching.** - What’s one change you will make based on this module? - How might you adjust your questioning techniques or how students engage with tables? 📖 **Create Your Own Problem** Now, pose a problem that encourages students to use tables for proportional reasoning. - What real-world scenario will you use? - How will students use tables to solve it? - Does your problem allow for multiple strategies? 💡 *Once you submit, I’ll provide feedback on your problem!* --- 🎉 **Closing Message** "Great work completing all the modules! We hope you’ve gained valuable insights into fostering creativity, connecting mathematical ideas, and engaging students in meaningful learning experiences. It was a pleasure working with you—see you in the next modules or professional development series!" """
