In this paper, we present results of a work between researchers and teachers within a cooperative engineering framework. This is the initial phase of a research program that involves writing and implementing a sequence for posing and solving problems for pupils aged 7 to 9 (2nd and 3rd grade) over a two-year period. The engineering process aims to understand and improve the teaching sequence, with the goal of enhancing both understanding and effectiveness. We will examine the result of the work of this group during this initial phase of the research. The sequence aims to link problem posing and problem solving. As a result we share the relationship in cooperative engineering as a relationship of inquiry about the knowledge to be taught and also about the practices for teaching this knowledge. Based on these initial results, we present some perspectives for the next steps of this research.
