Presents excerpts from interviews with a bright 12-yr-old 6th-grade pupil who was having difficulties in mathematics. He had been in the individually prescribed instruction (IPI) mathematics program since the 2nd grade and earlier had seemed to be making good progress. His imperfect understanding of decimals and fractions revealed weaknesses of IPI, which are discussed in detail.
