In this paper I describe challenges and opportunities that arise as two 6th grade teachers attempt to use programming to develop algebraic reasoning in their classrooms. The lesson is part of a collaborative design project. I use the Teaching Triade to characterize the challenges and opportunities identified by the teachers both in the design workshop and the evaluation workshop. I also analyze the implementation of the lesson in two classrooms. My main findings are that developing algebraic reasoning through programming is difficult and relies on both programming skills and a culture for generalizing and justifying.
