GED Math

Here's what people don't tell you: they give you a calculator AND a formula sheet. You don't need to memorize anything. You need to know when to use what. Ari teaches you to set up problems step by step using real situations — tips, discounts, budgets, measurements. Math you actually use.

Scared of math? Most people who "can't do math" were never taught it in a way that made sense. The GED tests practical, real-life math — calculating a tip, figuring out if you can afford rent, reading a graph. Ari teaches it that way: through situations you already deal with, one step at a time, as slow or fast as YOU need.

How Ari Teaches Math Differently

One Step at a Time

Ari never skips steps or says "obviously." Every single step is shown. If you get lost, Ari backs up and tries a different way.

Real-Life Problems

Splitting a bill. Calculating a discount. Figuring out how much paint for a wall. Math the way you actually use it.

Focuses Where You're Stuck

Good at basic math but struggle with algebra? Ari spends time there. Already know fractions? Skip ahead.

Works on Your Phone

Practice on break, on the bus, before bed. 15 minutes a day adds up. No laptop needed.

How Ari Works

Ari is an AI tutor that adapts to how you respond — here's what it does across sessions.

Your AI Tutor

Ari adjusts based on your responses. After a few sessions, it shifts its approach:

  • Teaches the concept first, then checks if it landed
  • Adjusts difficulty based on how you're responding
  • Remembers what you struggled with across sessions
  • Varies format: multiple choice, scenarios, worked examples
  • Flags potential misconceptions based on your answers
Your Learning Profile

After each session, the system updates a profile based on how you interact:

  • Notes which explanation styles you respond to
  • Detects when you seem disengaged and changes approach
  • Tracks what topics you've covered and what's remaining
  • Uses your interests to make examples more relevant
  • Builds on prior sessions instead of starting fresh
Study Suggestions

Ari can suggest what to focus on — but these are AI-generated suggestions, not guarantees:

  • Set a target timeline — Ari suggests a study sequence
  • Ask what to review — it suggests topics based on coverage gaps
  • Highlights areas where you seem less confident
  • Flags topics you haven't practiced in a while
  • Explains why it's suggesting each topic next

Ari is designed around learning science principles — but it's still an AI and can make mistakes.

Power Tips — Using Ari Effectively

Ari is an AI language model. It works well for studying — but it has real limitations.

What Works Well
Ask it to explain things differently

"Explain that differently" or "Give me a real-world example."

Ari can rephrase, use analogies, or break things into steps. If one explanation doesn't click, ask for another angle.

Say "quiz me"

"Quiz me on this topic" or "Give me a practice question."

Self-testing builds stronger memory than re-reading. Questions match what you've been studying.

Ask for structured breakdowns

"Show me a comparison table" or "List the steps."

Tables, step-by-step lists, and side-by-side comparisons can help organize complex material.

Ask for a study plan

"I have 30 days and can study 5 hours a week — help me plan."

Ari can suggest a sequence based on what you've covered so far. Use it as a starting point, not gospel.

What to Know
Ari can be wrong

It's a language model — it generates plausible-sounding text based on patterns, just like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. It can state incorrect information confidently. Always verify important facts from official sources.

It's not good at debate

Ari assumes you're here to learn. If you argue or try to trip it up, it won't push back well — it may agree with incorrect statements or get confused. It's a study aid, not a sparring partner.

Progress indicators are the model's best guess

Any progress or mastery shown is the result of the model's pattern matching — not a real measurement. It can never be fully accurate because it's predicting, not testing.

Know what Ari is — and isn't

Ari is a free study tool. It doesn't administer exams, issue credentials, or measure your actual readiness. Exams and credentials come from independent organizations. Ari can help you study — that's it.

What's on the Test

Four areas. Mostly algebra (55%). Formula sheet and calculator provided.

Basic Math
25%

Fractions, percents, order of operations, powers, roots. The foundation everything else builds on.

Algebra
55%

Solving equations, word problems, inequalities. The biggest section — but it's just "find x." Ari makes it click.

Geometry
20%

Area, volume, angles, Pythagorean theorem. Formulas given — you just plug in numbers.

Data & Graphs
20%

Reading graphs, averages, probability, slope. Understanding what numbers are telling you.

What a Study Session Looks Like

Real Problem

"A shirt costs $40. It's 25% off. What do you pay?" Ari starts with something you'd actually need to figure out at a store.

Step by Step

You try. If you're stuck, Ari says: "First, what's 25% as a decimal?" One hint at a time — never the whole answer at once.

Build Confidence

Get it right and Ari gives you a slightly harder one. Get it wrong and Ari shows you where the mistake happened — no judgment, just clarity.
