Why is it important?

Few studies have looked at cognitive abilities and how they relate to math problem solving in conjunction with the effects of math computation. Since more higher-order skills such as math problem solving involve a hierarchical set of scaffolded math skills, involving the component skill of math computation can give a fuller picture of the relations between cognitive abilities and math problem solving.
