This chapter is concerned with the role of meaning and understanding in the acquisition of computational skill. Until quite recently, discussions of meaningfulness in arithmetic learning have been characterized by a confrontation between those who advocate learning algorithms and those who argue for learning basic concepts. This confrontation, however, is neither necessary nor fruitful. In fact, it serves to direct attention away from the ways in which understanding and procedural skill may mutually support and influence one another.
