Mrs. o'connor assigns a task in math. she does not review prerequisite knowledge and skills. the task requires students to use a formula they learned in a prior unit. several students struggle with the task. what type of knowledge do they need that they seem to lack?

The answer is "Procedural knowledge".

Procedural knowledge, otherwise called imperative knowledge, is the learning practiced in the execution of some undertaking.Procedural learning is not quite the same as different sorts of information, for example, explanatory learning, in that it can be straightforwardly connected to an errand. For example, the procedural information one uses to take care of issues contrasts from the definitive learning one has about critical thinking since this information is framed by doing.
