Conceptual and Procedural Knowledge in Mathematics.
This paper is written on conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics. Procedural knowledge-or more appropriately skills-refers to the ability to physically solve a problem through the manipulation of mathematical skills: with pencil and paper, calculator, computer, etc. There is thus, in a theoretical sense, a difference between conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics. To what extent that theoretical difference can be extended to the understanding and solving of actual mathematical problems is the subject of this paper.
