James and I met for this session at his house off Broward Road. We began work together on Algebra for the GED. James needed assistance with understanding variables and when to use them. I explained that a variable is any number that we do not know. I explained that math problems with 1 variable only require 1 equation to solve for the variable, whereas math problems with two variables need two equations to solve. We also discussed some of the common algebraic terms including integers, whole numbers, natural numbers, and absolute values of numbers.
