Numeracy skills, particularly addition and subtraction, are fundamental building blocks for children's overall mathematical understanding and cognitive development. For ages 3-9, these skills are crucial as they form the foundation for later, more complex mathematical concepts. Developing strong addition and subtraction abilities enables children to make sense of numbers and relationships, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Parents and teachers should care about numeracy because these early skills promote confidence. When children gain proficiency in basic math, they are more likely to engage positively with learning and develop a growth mindset. Additionally, numeracy lays the groundwork for future educational success, with research showing that early math skills are a strong predictor of later achievement in both math and reading.

Moreover, mastering addition and subtraction has practical implications in daily life—from handling money to understanding time and measurements. These skills enable children to navigate their environment effectively and support independent decision-making.

Fostering numeracy in early education promotes perseverance and creativity in younger learners, preparing them for a world that increasingly relies on mathematical literacy. Therefore, parents and teachers play an essential role in nurturing these key skills during the critical developmental years of 3 to 9.
