Module 1: Solving Problems with Multiple Solutions Through AI

### **Initial Introduction by AI**
"Welcome! Today, we’re exploring proportional reasoning and creativity in math. Your challenge? **Figure out which classroom section is more crowded!** But here’s the catch—you’ll need to explain your reasoning every step of the way.  

Are you ready?"

- **If the user responds with 'yes' or similar:**  
  "Awesome! Before we dive in, let’s look at the classroom data:

  - **Section A:** 24 students, 30 total seats  
  - **Section B:** 18 students, 20 total seats  

  Now, let's explore different ways to determine which section is more crowded. **What’s the first strategy that comes to mind?**"

- **If the user doesn’t respond with a strategy:**  
  "No worries! Let’s start with one approach: **comparing the ratio of students to total seats.**  
  Sound good?"

### **Step-by-Step Prompts with Adaptive Hints**

#### **Solution 1: Comparing Ratios (Students to Capacity)**
- **AI waits for the teacher’s answer before proceeding.**
- If the teacher suggests ratio comparison: *"Great idea! Let’s go step by step."*  
- If the teacher doesn’t suggest it: *"One way to analyze this is by comparing the ratio of students to total seats. What do you think that might tell us?"*  

1️⃣ **Calculate the ratio of students to total seats.**  

"Let’s start by calculating the student-to-seat ratio for each section.  

- For Section A: What is 24 divided by 30?  
- For Section B: What is 18 divided by 20?  

Take a moment to calculate. You can use a calculator if you’d like!"

---

- **If the answer is correct:**  
  "Nice work! Now, how would you explain what these ratios represent in terms of classroom crowding?"  
- **If the answer is incorrect or partly correct:**  
  "Almost there! Let’s check those calculations again. What happens if you divide students by total seats one more time?"  

---

2️⃣ **Simplify the fractions.**  

"Now that we have our fractions, let’s simplify them.  

- For Section A: Can you simplify 24/30?  
- For Section B: Can you simplify 18/20?  

Take your time! What do you get?"

---

- **If correct:**  
  "Great job! Now, why do you think simplifying fractions is helpful in this case?"  
- **If incorrect:**  
  "Hmm, let’s take another look! What’s the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator?"  

---

3️⃣ **Convert to decimals for comparison.**  

"Now, let’s express these ratios as decimals.  

- What do you get when you divide 4 by 5?  
- What do you get when you divide 9 by 10?  

Let me know what you find!"

---

- **If correct:**  
  "Nice! Now, tell me: **How does using decimals help us compare crowding more clearly?**"  
- **If incorrect:**  
  "Double-check your division—do you want to try using a calculator? Let me know what you get!"  

---

4️⃣ **Interpret the results.**  

- "Now that we have our decimal values, what do they tell us?  
  - Which section appears more crowded?  
  - Why does a higher decimal indicate greater crowding?  

Explain your reasoning!"

---

### **Solution 2: Comparing Students to Available Seats**
- If the teacher suggests this method: *"Great idea! Let’s explore it."*  
- If the teacher doesn’t suggest it: *"Another way to look at this is by comparing students to available seats. What do you think that might tell us?"*  

1️⃣ **Find the number of available seats.**  

- "First, let’s calculate how many seats are **empty** in each section:  
  - For Section A: What is 30 minus 24?  
  - For Section B: What is 20 minus 18?  

What do you get?"

---

- **If correct:**  
  "Nice! Now, why do you think looking at available seats gives us a different perspective?"  
- **If incorrect:**  
  "Hmm, let’s check the subtraction. Do you want to try again?"  

---

2️⃣ **Compute the new ratios.**  

"Now, divide the number of students by the number of available seats.  

- For Section A: What is 24 divided by the number of available seats?  
- For Section B: What is 18 divided by the number of available seats?  

What do you find?"

---

- **If correct:**  
  "Interesting! How does this method compare to the student-to-total seat ratio?"  
- **If incorrect:**  
  "Almost there! Let’s go through the division again. What do you get when you divide those numbers?"  

---

### **Solution 3: Converting Ratios to Percentages**
"Let’s try another perspective—converting our ratios into percentages.  

How might percentages make the comparison easier?"

- If the teacher responds with an idea: *"Nice! Let’s apply that."*  
- If not: *"We can convert our decimals into percentages by multiplying by 100. Want to give it a try?"*  

---

1️⃣ **Convert to percentages.**  

- "Multiply your decimal values by 100.  
  - What percentage do you get for Section A?  
  - What about Section B?  

Let me know what you find!"

---

- **If correct:**  
  "Good work! Now, how does using percentages change the way you think about classroom crowding?"  
- **If incorrect:**  
  "Hmm, let’s double-check the multiplication. What happens if you multiply by 100 again?"  

---

### **Final Reflection and Common Core Connections**
- "Let’s reflect:  
  - Which of these methods made the most sense to you?  
  - How might you use these strategies in your own classroom?  
  - How does this connect to **Common Core Mathematical Practice #1 (Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them)?**"  

---

### **New Problem-Posing Activity**
"Now, let’s take this further! Try designing a new problem:  
  - Change the number of students or seats in each section.  
  - How would that affect your reasoning?  

Let’s create a new challenge together!"
