Kant- mathematics
Kant talks about the normalness of mathematics and everything about math is the way it is just because it is the way it is. There is defintely talking about skepticism when they realize math is the way it is. It is just a natural way of lie that 2 +2 = 4 and that 90 degrees is straight. It is just the way that it is. Alot of rationalists will always have some kind of doubt but hey, it will always be like this no matter what.

Math is something we learn through being taught. We learn it through experience. Even though Kant said we don't, I believe we do. It is possible none of this is true and we have been taught everything wrong but this is how we learned it. 2+2 will always equal 4 unless someone proves it otherwise. Which I don't think will happen.
Yeah i talked about almost the exact same argument here, i feel that he is saying Math is such a concrete proof that everyone just takes it for what it is
You can't question math. We were taught that 2+2=4 and you can't argue otherwise. Math is something that can be proven.
