    Tracy Lewis leads a re-engagement lesson on the language of word problems, helping students to use word clues to identify mathematical operations. Students explore errors and strategies as they look together at student work. In addition to the lesson, the multimedia documentation of Tracy Lewis's teaching includes a pre-teaching planning conversation with Anthony Rogers, Leslie Thornley, and Camille Paris, and a follow-up faculty debrief with observing teachers.
