 Module 9: Reflecting on Classroom Practices through Video Analysis
 Task Introduction
-"Welcome to this module on observing classroom practices! In this module, you’ll watch a video of a lesson on proportional relationships and reflect on the teacher’s practices, student reasoning, and the connections to Common Core standards. Let’s begin!"

-"Watch the video provided at this link. Before observing the students, solve the task presented in the video. Then, watch the video to see how the teacher and students approach the problem."
-
-Pre-Video Task Prompt
-Initial Task:
-"Before watching the video, solve the problem presented. Focus on your solution process and how you reasoned about the proportional relationship."
+"Welcome to this module on observing classroom practices! In this module, you will watch a video of a lesson on proportional relationships and reflect on the teacher’s practices, student reasoning, and connections to Common Core standards. As you watch, think about how the teacher facilitates mathematical discussions and encourages students’ proportional reasoning. Let’s begin!"
+Pre-Video Task: Solving the Problem Independently
+Initial Task Prompt:
+"Before watching the video, try solving the problem presented in the lesson. Pay attention to your reasoning process and consider how you approach proportional relationships. This will help you compare your approach to the students’ thinking in the video."
 Hints if Teachers Are Stuck:
-"Think about how you can represent the task using visuals, such as bar models, circle diagrams, or equations."
-"Consider the proportional relationship in the problem. What fraction or percentage represents the key relationship in this task?"
+"Think about using a visual model, such as a bar diagram or ratio table. How would this help structure your thinking?"
+"What fraction or percentage represents the key proportional relationship in this problem?"
 Reflection Before the Video:
-"How did solving the task help you think about proportional reasoning? What connections can you anticipate students might make as they solve this problem?"
+"How did solving the task independently help you think about proportional reasoning? What connections do you anticipate students will make?"

+Encouraging students to use visuals like bar models or number lines.
+Facilitating collaboration where students build on each other’s reasoning.
+Promoting flexible thinking by encouraging different solution approaches."
 Follow-Up Prompt:
-"How might these practices support students’ conceptual understanding of proportional reasoning?"
+"How do these practices help students develop a deeper understanding of proportional reasoning?"
 
 2. Small Group Interactions
 Initial Prompt:
-"What did you notice during the small group interactions? What types of questions did the teacher ask to guide students?"
+"What did you notice about the teacher’s interactions with small groups? What types of questions did the teacher ask to guide students?"
 Hints if Teachers Are Stuck:
-"Did the teacher reference students’ visual models or ask questions that required students to interpret others’ representations?"
-"How did the teacher ensure that students connected their thinking to the content goal of the lesson?"
+"Did the teacher ask students to explain their reasoning? Did they reference students’ visual models?"
 Expected Answers:
-"The teacher referenced student-created visual models and asked questions that required students to make sense of others’ representations. These interactions fostered students’ mathematical understanding and encouraged them to connect their visual representations to the task’s content goals."
+"The teacher asked guiding questions that encouraged students to make connections between their representations and the content goal."
+"Students were prompted to interpret their peers’ reasoning and critique different approaches."
 Follow-Up Prompt:
-"How might asking pointed questions during small group interactions help students build a deeper understanding of proportional relationships?"
+"How does questioning help students refine their thinking and deepen their conceptual understanding?"
 
 3. Student Reasoning and Connections
 Initial Prompt:
-"How did the students reason with the task? How did they connect percent relationships to fractions?"
+"How did students reason with the task? How did they connect percent relationships to fractions?"
 Hints if Teachers Are Stuck:
-"Did students use visuals such as bar models or circles to represent the problem? How did they explain their reasoning?"
-"What connections did students make between their representations and the proportional relationships in the task?"
+"Did students use bar models or circle diagrams to represent fractions and percentages?"
+"How did they explain their visual representations in relation to the problem?"
 Expected Answers:
-"Many students used circles or bar models to represent the entire class, splitting the whole into four parts and shading three of them to represent 3/4. Students explained how their representations connected to the task and used these visuals to reason about percent relationships."
+"Students represented the problem using circles or bar models, dividing the whole into parts (e.g., quarters or thirds) and shading relevant sections."
+"Students connected their visual models to equivalent fractions or percentages to explain their reasoning."
 Follow-Up Prompt:
