-Step-by-Step Prompts for Representations
+## **Step-by-Step Prompts for Representations**
+
+### **1. Bar Model**
+**Initial Prompt:**  
+"Let’s start with a bar model! Imagine a bar representing **90 miles**, which Jessica travels in **2 hours**.  
+How might you divide this bar to explore the distances for **1 hour, ½ hour, and 3 hours**?  
+Please walk me through your reasoning!"  
 
-1. **Bar Model**
+**Hints for When Stuck:**  
+- **Hint 1:** "Think of the entire bar as representing **90 miles in 2 hours**. How can you split it into equal parts to find 1 hour?"  
+- **Hint 2:** "Now, extend or divide it further—what happens for **½ hour and 3 hours**?"  
 
-   **Initial Prompt:**  
-   "Let’s start with a bar model. Imagine a bar that represents 90 miles, which Jessica travels in 2 hours. How might you divide this bar to explore the distances for 1 hour, ½ hour, and 3 hours? Please explain how each section of your bar relates to these time intervals."
+**If Partially Correct:**  
+"Nice start! You’ve divided the bar, but let’s double-check: Do your sections correctly correspond to **1 hour, ½ hour, and 3 hours**?"  
 
-   **Hints for When You’re Stuck:**  
-   - *Hint 1:* "Think of the entire bar as representing 2 hours (90 miles). How would you divide it into two equal parts so that each part represents 1 hour?"  
-   - *Hint 2:* "Once you have the bar for 1 hour, how might you further split or extend it to represent ½ hour (half the distance) and 3 hours (one and a half times the distance)?"
+**If Incorrect:**  
+"It looks like the divisions might not match the time intervals. Remember:  
+- **2 hours = 90 miles** → **1 hour = 45 miles**  
+- How would you adjust the bar for **½ hour (22.5 miles) and 3 hours (135 miles)?**"  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Partially Correct:**  
-   "I see you’ve begun dividing the bar—great work! Could you explain what each section represents? Let’s check together: does each section correctly correspond to 1 hour, ½ hour, or 3 hours?"
+**If Correct:**  
+"Excellent! Can you explain why this model works? How might you use this to help students visualize proportional relationships?"  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Incorrect:**  
-   "It looks like the divisions may not match the time intervals. Remember, 2 hours = 90 miles, so each 1-hour segment should represent 45 miles. How would you adjust the divisions for ½ hour (22.5 miles) and 3 hours (135 miles)?"
+---
 
-   **Even if Your Answer is Correct:**  
-   "Excellent job with the bar model! Can you explain in detail how this model helps visualize the proportional relationship? How might you describe this process to your students?"
+### **2. Double Number Line**
+**Initial Prompt:**  
+"Now, let’s try a **double number line**. Create two parallel lines—one for **time (hours)** and one for **distance (miles)**.  
 
-2. **Double Number Line**
+Start by marking:  
+- **0 and 2 hours** on the top line  
+- **0 and 90 miles** on the bottom line  
 
-   **Initial Prompt:**  
-   "Now, let’s try a double number line. Create two parallel number lines—one for time (in hours) and one for distance (in miles). Start by marking 0 and 2 hours on the top line with 0 and 90 miles on the bottom line. What would be the corresponding values for 1 hour, ½ hour, and 3 hours? Please walk me through your reasoning."
+What comes next?"  
 
-   **Hints for When You’re Stuck:**  
-   - *Hint 1:* "Try labeling the time line with 0, 1, 2, and 3 hours. On the distance line, use the fact that 2 hours = 90 miles. How can you find the distance for 1 hour?"  
-   - *Hint 2:* "Consider that 1 hour should represent 45 miles. How might you then determine the distances for ½ hour and 3 hours?"
+**Hints for When Stuck:**  
+- **Hint 1:** "Try labeling the time line **(0, 1, 2, 3)**. How does that help with placing distances below?"  
+- **Hint 2:** "Since **2 hours = 90 miles**, what does that tell you about **1 hour and ½ hour**?"  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Partially Correct:**  
-   "Nice work getting started! Can you explain how you chose your intervals? Does your labeling clearly align 90 miles with 2 hours, and does it follow proportionally for the other intervals?"
+**If Partially Correct:**  
+"Great start! Can you check whether your intervals are evenly spaced and whether **90 miles aligns correctly with 2 hours**?"  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Incorrect:**  
-   "It seems the intervals might be off. Remember that since 90 miles correspond to 2 hours, 1 hour equals 45 miles, ½ hour equals 22.5 miles, and 3 hours equals 135 miles. Can you adjust your number line accordingly?"
+**If Incorrect:**  
+"Something seems off. Since **1 hour = 45 miles**, does your number line reflect that proportion? Try adjusting it!"  
 
-   **Even if Your Answer is Correct:**  
-   "Great job with the double number line! Please explain how each point was determined and how this representation can help students understand the unit rate in a real-world context."
+**If Correct:**  
+"Well done! How might you use this number line to help students **see unit rate and proportional reasoning more clearly**?"  
 
-3. **Ratio Table**
+---
 
-   **Initial Prompt:**  
-   "Next, let’s work with a ratio table. Create a table with one column for time (in hours) and one for distance (in miles). Start with the information: 2 hours = 90 miles. How would you complete the table for ½ hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours? Share your table and explain each step."
+### **3. Ratio Table**
+**Initial Prompt:**  
+"Next, let’s build a **ratio table**! Create a table with:  
+- **Column 1:** Time (hours)  
+- **Column 2:** Distance (miles)  
 
-   **Hints for When You’re Stuck:**  
-   - *Hint 1:* "Begin by determining the distance for 1 hour. How does 90 miles in 2 hours help you find that value?"  
-   - *Hint 2:* "Once you know 1 hour = 45 miles, how can you calculate the distances for ½ hour (half of 45 miles) and 3 hours (three times 45 miles)?"
+You already know **2 hours = 90 miles**. How would you fill in the table for **½ hour, 1 hour, and 3 hours**?"  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Partially Correct:**  
-   "You’re on the right track! Can you go over the ratios you’ve used? Do they all maintain the same proportional relationship?"
+**Hints for When Stuck:**  
+- **Hint 1:** "Since **2 hours = 90 miles**, how can you divide this to find **1 hour**?"  
+- **Hint 2:** "Once you know **1 hour = 45 miles**, can you calculate for **½ hour and 3 hours**?"  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Incorrect:**  
-   "It seems there might be a miscalculation. Keep in mind that 1 hour should be 45 miles. How would you revise your table to make sure each value is consistent with this rate?"
+**If Partially Correct:**  
+"Good thinking! Does your table maintain the **same proportional relationship** in each row?"  
 
-   **Even if Your Answer is Correct:**  
-   "Well done! Please explain how the ratio table helps clarify the relationship between time and distance. How might this approach be beneficial in teaching proportional reasoning?"
+**If Incorrect:**  
+"Something’s a little off. Let’s check:  
+- **1 hour = 45 miles**  
+- **½ hour = 22.5 miles**  
+- **3 hours = 135 miles**  
 
-4. **Graph**
+Can you adjust your table accordingly?"  
 
-   **Initial Prompt:**  
-   "Finally, let’s use a graph. Plot time (in hours) on the x-axis and distance (in miles) on the y-axis. Start by plotting the points (0, 0) and (2, 90). Which additional points will you add to represent 1 hour, ½ hour, and 3 hours? Please describe your process as you plot the graph."
+**If Correct:**  
+"Great job! How do you think this table helps students compare different proportional relationships?"  
 
-   **Hints for When You’re Stuck:**  
-   - *Hint 1:* "Begin by confirming the starting point at (0,0) and the point for 2 hours at (2,90). How can you use these points to determine the others?"  
-   - *Hint 2:* "Remember that the slope of the line is constant. What are the coordinates for 1 hour (should be 45 miles), ½ hour (22.5 miles), and 3 hours (135 miles)?"
+---
 
-   **If Your Answer is Partially Correct:**  
-   "Good start with the graph! Can you explain why having (0,0) is important and how the other points relate to the constant rate of change?"
+### **4. Graph**
+**Initial Prompt:**  
+"Finally, let’s graph this problem! Plot:  
+- **Time (hours) on the x-axis**  
+- **Distance (miles) on the y-axis**  
 
-   **If Your Answer is Incorrect:**  
-   "It looks like some of your points may not align with the proportional relationship. Revisit the unit rate—1 hour equals 45 miles—and adjust your points accordingly. How does that help you correct the graph?"
+You already know two key points:  
+- **(0,0)** and **(2,90)**  
 
-   **Even if Your Answer is Correct:**  
-   "Excellent work with the graph! Please explain how this visual representation reinforces the idea of a constant unit rate and why that is important in proportional reasoning."
+What other points will you add?"  
 
-   **(If applicable, the AI will also provide an illustrative drawing of the graph with a note: 'This illustration is an approximate representation to help visualize the proportional relationship.')**
+**Hints for When Stuck:**  
+- **Hint 1:** "Start by marking **(0,0) and (2,90)**. How can you use these to find **(1,45), (½,22.5), and (3,135)?**"  
+- **Hint 2:** "What does the **slope** of this line represent?"  
 
----
+**If Partially Correct:**  
+"Nice start! Can you check whether your line passes through **(0,0)**? Why is that important?"  
 
-**Reflection Prompts**
+**If Incorrect:**  
+"Let’s go back and check:  
+- **1 hour = 45 miles**  
+- **½ hour = 22.5 miles**  
+- **3 hours = 135 miles**
