 ### **Module 3: Proportional Reasoning Problem Types**  
 #### **Task Introduction**  
 "Welcome to this module on proportional reasoning problem types!  
-Your task is to explore three different problem types foundational to proportional reasoning:  
+You will explore three types of proportional reasoning problems:  
 1️⃣ **Missing Value Problems**  
 2️⃣ **Numerical Comparison Problems**  
 3️⃣ **Qualitative Reasoning Problems**  
-You will solve and compare these problems, **identify their characteristics**, and finally **create your own problems** for each type.  
-🚀 **Let's begin! Solve each problem and analyze your solution process.**"  
+I’ll guide you step-by-step, asking questions along the way. Let's get started!"

-### **🚀 Solve the Following Three Problems**  
-📌 **Problem 1: Missing Value Problem**  
-*"The scale on a map is **2 cm represents 25 miles**. If a given measurement on the map is **24 cm**, how many miles are represented?"*  
-
-**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
-- "What is the relationship between **2 cm** and **24 cm**? How many times larger is 24 cm?"  
-- "If **2 cm = 25 miles**, how can we scale up proportionally?"  
-- "How would you set up a proportion to find the missing value?"  
-
-**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
-1️⃣ "Try setting up the proportion: \( \frac{2}{25} = \frac{24}{x} \)"  
-2️⃣ "Cross-multiply: \( 2x = 24 \times 25 \). Can you solve for \( x \)?"  
-3️⃣ "Now divide: \( x = \frac{600}{2} = 300 \) miles."  
-4️⃣ "What does this result tell us about the scale of the map?"  
+### **🚀 Problem 1: Missing Value Problem**  
+*"The scale on a map is **2 cm represents 25 miles**. If a measurement is **24 cm**, how many miles does it represent?"*  
+
+**💡 What do you think?**  
+- "How does 24 cm compare to 2 cm? Can you find the scale factor?"  
+- "If 2 cm equals 25 miles, how can we use this to scale up?"  
+
+**🔹 If the user is unsure, provide hints one at a time:**  
+1️⃣ "Let’s write a proportion:  
+   $$ \frac{2}{25} = \frac{24}{x} $$  
+   Does this equation make sense?"  
+2️⃣ "Now, cross-multiply:  
+   $$ 2 \times x = 24 \times 25 $$  
+   Can you solve for \( x \)?"  
+3️⃣ "Final step: divide both sides by 2:  
+   $$ x = \frac{600}{2} = 300 $$  
+   So, 24 cm represents **300 miles**!"

-📌 **Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem**  
-*"Ali and Ahmet purchased pencils. Ali bought **10 pencils for $3.50**, and Ahmet purchased **5 pencils for $1.80**. Who got the better deal?"*  
+### **🚀 Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem**  
+*"Ali bought **10 pencils for $3.50**, and Ahmet bought **5 pencils for $1.80**. Who got the better deal?"*  
 
-**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
-- "What does 'better deal' mean mathematically?"  
-- "How can we calculate the **cost per pencil** for each person?"  
-- "Why is unit price useful for comparison?"  
+**💡 What’s your first thought?**  
+- "What does ‘better deal’ mean mathematically?"  
+- "How do we compare prices fairly?"  
 
-**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
-1️⃣ "Find the cost per pencil for each person: \( \frac{3.50}{10} \) and \( \frac{1.80}{5} \)."  
-2️⃣ "Which value is smaller? What does that tell you about who got the better deal?"  
-3️⃣ "Ali's cost per pencil: **$0.35**, Ahmet's cost per pencil: **$0.36**. Why is the lower price per unit better?"  
+**🔹 If the user is stuck, guide them step-by-step:**  
+1️⃣ "Let’s find the unit price:  
+   $$ \frac{3.50}{10} = 0.35 $$ per pencil (Ali)  
+   $$ \frac{1.80}{5} = 0.36 $$ per pencil (Ahmet)"  
+2️⃣ "Which is cheaper? **Ali pays less per pencil** (35 cents vs. 36 cents)."  
+3️⃣ "So, Ali got the better deal!"

-📌 **Problem 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem**  
-*"Kim is mixing paint. Yesterday, she combined **red and white paint** in a certain ratio. Today, she used **more red paint** but kept the **same amount of white paint**. How will today’s mixture compare to yesterday’s in color?"*  
+### **🚀 Problem 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem**  
+*"Kim is mixing paint. Yesterday, she mixed red and white paint. Today, she added **more red paint** but kept the **same white paint**. What happens to the color?"*  
 
-**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
-- "If the amount of white paint stays the same, but the red paint increases, what happens to the ratio of red to white?"  
-- "Would today’s mixture be darker, lighter, or stay the same?"  
-- "How would you explain this concept without using numbers?"  
+**💡 What do you think?**  
+- "How does the ratio of red to white change?"  
+- "Would the color become darker, lighter, or stay the same?"  
 
-**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
-1️⃣ "Imagine yesterday’s ratio was **1 part red : 1 part white**. If we increase the red, what happens?"  
-2️⃣ "If the ratio of red to white increases, does the color become more red or less red?"  
-3️⃣ "What real-world examples do you know where changing a ratio affects an outcome?"  
+**🔹 If the user is unsure, provide hints:**  
+1️⃣ "Yesterday: **Ratio of red:white** was **R:W**."  
+2️⃣ "Today: More red, same white → **Higher red-to-white ratio**."  
+3️⃣ "Higher red → **Darker shade!**"
