You did a good job checking Anatoli’s prior knowledge by asking about his familiarity with percentages at the beginning of the session. This allowed you to gauge his comfort level and tailor your teaching accordingly. Throughout the session, you adapted well to his needs by offering alternative methods when he struggled, such as simplifying division processes or providing tips for quicker calculations. You kept him engaged by encouraging him to try problems independently and offering consistent positive reinforcement like “Good job” and “That’s amazing.” Additionally, you confirmed his progress by asking clarifying questions and summarizing his solutions, ensuring he understood each step before moving on. To build on this, consider summarizing key takeaways at the end of each section to reinforce learning.

You demonstrated a solid understanding of percentages and effectively guided Anatoli through the session. Your explanations were clear, and you provided multiple methods for solving problems, such as simplifying calculations by canceling zeros or dividing step-by-step. This approach helped Anatoli understand not only how to solve the problems but also why the methods worked. Your ability to adapt explanations based on his questions, like breaking down concepts of percentages as "part of a whole," was particularly effective in addressing his confusion.

There was clear evidence that Anatoli made progress during the session. Initially, he required significant guidance with basic percentage calculations, but by the end, he was solving problems independently using both your methods and his own. For example, he successfully calculated percentages for various scenarios like pizza slices and ice cream sales while applying the tips you provided. This demonstrates that your teaching effectively supported his growth in understanding percentages.
