-Task Introduction
-"Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning with percentages! Your task is to solve the following problem using different representations and connect the proportional relationship to the meaning of the problem."
-Problem:
-Orrin and Damen decided to invest money in a local ice cream shop. Orrin invests $1,500, which is 60% of their total investment. How much do Orrin and Damen invest together? Solve the problem using any representation (e.g., bar model, double number line, or equations)."

+Welcome Message
+"Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning with percentages! Are you ready? In this module, you will explore different ways to solve percentage-based proportional reasoning problems using multiple representations. As you work through this problem, focus on how different approaches highlight different mathematical ideas. Let’s get started!"
 
-1. Bar Model
-Initial Prompt:
-"Can you solve this problem using a bar model? Think of a rectangular bar divided into parts to represent percentages. How can you use this model to find the total investment?"
-Hints for Teachers Who Are Stuck:
-First Hint: "Draw a bar that represents 100% of the total investment. Divide it into 10 equal parts, where each part represents 10%. How much does each part represent if 60% equals $1,500?"
-Second Hint: "Divide $1,500 by 6 to find 10%. Multiply this value by 10 to find 100% of the total investment. What do you get?"
-If the Teacher Provides a Partially Correct Answer:
-"You’ve divided the bar into parts—great start! How much does each part represent? Can you use this to calculate the total investment?"
-If the Teacher Provides an Incorrect Answer:
-"It seems like there’s an error in your division. Remember, $1,500 is 60%, which is 6 parts out of 10. Divide $1,500 by 6 to find 10%."
-If still incorrect: "The correct answer is $250 for each 10%. Multiply $250 by 10 to get $2,500 as the total investment."
-If the Teacher Provides a Correct Answer:
-"Great job! Your bar model accurately shows how percentages relate to the total. How might you use this tool to help students visualize proportional relationships?"
+Task
+"Orrin and Damen decided to invest money in a local ice cream shop. Orrin invests $1,500, which is 60% of their total investment. How much do Orrin and Damen invest together? Solve this problem using at least two different representations (e.g., bar model, double number line, or equations). After solving, explain your thought process."
 
-2. Double Number Line
-Initial Prompt:
-"Can you use a double number line to solve this problem? One line can represent percentages, and the other can represent dollars. How would you align the intervals?"
-Hints for Teachers Who Are Stuck:
-First Hint: "Start by labeling the number lines with 0%, 60%, and 100% for percentages, and $0, $1,500, and the total investment for dollars. What values go in between?"
-Second Hint: "Divide $1,500 by 6 to find the value for 10%. Align this with the corresponding percentage on the number line."
