3. Mathematics Learning
should focus on
practicing procedure and
memorizing basic
number combinations.
Mathematics learning
should focus on
developing
understanding of
concepts and procedures
through problem solving,
reasoning, and discourse.
For which side of the definition, would you like to be:
Side A Side B

4. Students can learn to
apply mathematics only
after they have mastered
the basic skills.
Students can learn
mathematics through
exploring and solving
contextual and
mathematical problems.
For which side of the definition, would you like to be:
Side A Side B

5. to being able to apply a
series of steps without
knowing why they are being
applied in that way, or what
they mean – 'rules without
reasons'.
to knowing both what to do
and why – an understanding of
all of the parts, how they relate,
and why they are applied in the
manner they are.
For which side of the definition, would you like to be:
Side A Side B
Skemp, 1976
Example: Changing the sign on
numbers moved from one side
of the equals sign to other
Example: Explaining the equals sign
means both sides are equal so to
remove a negative number from 1 side,
we add the number to both sides.

First I draw a rectangle and shade the half of it.
Then I take
1
6
of the half. So, I divided the half
into 6 parts which would be 6 small rectangles. I
only needed
1

so that would be one small
rectangle. Then I needed to figure out what part
of the whole rectangle was and it was 1 out of
12. So

7. Instrumental teaching and learning mathematics involves
following rules and procedure without reason, relational
teaching and learning mathematics allows and
encourages students to apply to reason to their learning of
mathematics.
So, it can be concluded

8. Mathematics Cognitive Domains
Knowing
covers the facts, concepts, and procedures students need to know.
Applying
focuses on the ability of students to apply knowledge and conceptual
understanding to solve problems or answer questions.
Reasoning
goes beyond the solution of routine problems to encompass
unfamiliar situations, complex contexts, and multistep problems
