Abstract: 
The research was carried out over a three-month period in two high schools in the United
States. The six focus students who were selected to participate in the study were asked to
solve some problems in geometry requiring the use of variables and unknowns. It was
found that some of the difficulties that the students had were generic ones that students
usually have in algebra but that others were mainly due to a poor understanding of the
underlying geometrical or algebraic concepts.
