You really should read:
[This article] it is much shorter than their entire book :)
But....each meeting I will unpack one of the ideas they advocate. A overview is below:

Overview
Meeting One: Anticipating
In the Anticipating phase, the teacher predicts during planning how students will respond to a particular mathematics task. He or she considers possible alternative strategies that students may use, as well as potential misconceptions that may surface.
Meeting Two: Monitoring
Monitoring occurs as the teacher circulates during the classroom. He or she listens to student discussions while asking clarifying questions and posing new challenges.
Meeting Three: Selecting
This Selecting phase involves choosing the strategies for students that occur while the students are working that will best illustrate and promote the desired understanding of the question.
Meeting Four: Sequencing
In Sequencing, before the summarise, the teacher plans which students will share their thinking, and in what order, so as to maximize the quality of the discussion.
Meeting Five: Connecting
Finally, the Connecting practice which occurs during the summarising involves posing questions that enable students to understand and use each other’s strategies, and to connect the Problem’s Big Idea to previous learning. Connecting practice may also foreshadow future learning.
