Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction for children aged 3-9, as these foundational skills are crucial for a child's cognitive development and future learning. At this age, children are naturally curious and eager to explore. Engaging them in problem-solving activities helps enhance their critical thinking, reasoning, and analytical skills, which are essential for all areas of life.

Learning addition and subtraction through problem-solving encourages children to understand concepts rather than memorize facts. It allows them to make connections between numbers, their meanings, and real-world applications—fostering a deeper understanding of mathematics. This approach helps build resilience; as children encounter and overcome challenges, they learn perseverance and adaptability, essential traits for academic success.

Moreover, early exposure to math problems promotes confidence in dealing with numbers, setting a positive attitude towards mathematics as they age. By nurturing problem-solving skills in young learners, adults not only prepare them for future academic endeavors, but also equip them with tools for life, enabling them to tackle challenges with creativity and strategic thinking. Cultivating these skills during early childhood is key to fostering lifelong learners who feel empowered in their mathematical abilities.
