Proportional Reasoning using HLT instead of finding ‘missing’ value in word problems
Page: 1708
Proportional reasoning sounds like finding the missing ‘number’ when the other three numbers are already given in the context. In this poster we are proposing a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory to achieve some learning goals leveraging proportional reasoning. We also propose effective strategies for solving proportional using graphs and conceptual analysis of proportional reasoning.
