Kant says that Mathematics is possible invirtue of synthetic(informative) apriori (independant of observation) arithmatic and geometry -> Applied to space and time. He goes on to explain physics is a an apriori which means like i said it is independant of observation. He makes 2 distinctions.
#1- Judgements of perception: Sense of impressions and subjective validity
#2- Judgements of experience: Objective validity and conceptual categories.
I found Kant's writings on apriori somewhat confusing. I find that judgements of experience are more helpful than judgements when someone actually experiences an ecvent or something you can make your idea about it more knowingly because you went through it. Unlike perception which it is just what you think something maybe. Kant though goes towards the idea of perception and say it is not controversial but that experience is. I do not agree with this because if you experienced something then how can it be controversial and a perception is just what you see so to another person it could be different so that is definetly controversial. thats my opinion and argument for that.

I completely agree with you on judgements of experience to be more helpful.. especially when dealing with mathematics!
