I think the multiplication table can be a good tool for professional development; there are a lot of great non-routine questions you can ask about it, and it has a low-entry point [teachers have all seen it some capacity] with problems ranging from challenging (What percentage of the entries in a filled out 10 by 10 table is odd?) to way-too-difficult (Can you find a formula for the number of distinct entries in an nxn table?). &c.

You can weave in a lot of number theory, too: factors, multiplies, squares, almost-squares and the distributive property…
