I checked Natalie's homework and found that she was mostly successful and then I told her that we would be studying the process of finding percents of numbers. When I told her that I would show her the method of taking percents of numbers, she told me she wanted to figure it out on her own and do some independent problems. I assigned six problems for her to work on and I went to the teachers'
room to wait for her to finish. At the end of the session, she told me she was ready and I checked her work. Although there were some errors in decimal placement, she had the right process. I assigned four problems for homework.
