Launch
We begin with a series of problems on a specific algebraic topic. The teachers are expected to both solve the problems and then think about how their students will approach and attempt to solve the problems.
Conclusion/Debriefing
We assess the understanding of the teacher participants by solving additional related problems. This is followed by sharing suggestions for teaching and other resources.
