What do nonroutine algebra problems look like for a second-year algebra course, and where can such problems be found? Starting from the belief that even challenging, nonroutine problems should be solvable with the resources that students possess, Benjamin Dickman proceeded to formulate a small collection of tasks to push students into integrating their knowledge of various algebraic facts, concepts, and procedures. Herein, Dickman presents three such problems for the reader to explore, as well as possible solutions and some of the thinking behind how the tasks were created. In doing so, he hopes to provide classroom teachers with materials that can be used with their own students, to spur both teachers and teacher-educators into considering the role of problem posing in bolstering students' study of algebra through nonroutine tasks, and to provide teachers with some means to create such problems on their own.
