We present a rich algebra task that highlights how teachers can encourage students to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (thus following a CCSS mathematical practice). Participants work through the task and present various solution pathways to approaching the problem, and they then reflect how the task promotes student reasoning and understanding.
