Parents and teachers should prioritize math problem-solving involving addition and subtraction for children aged 4-6 because it lays a crucial foundation for future mathematical understanding and overall cognitive development. At this developmental stage, children's brains are exceptionally receptive to learning new concepts. By introducing them to basic math operations, we nurture their numerical literacy and their ability to approach problems logically and systematically.

Engaging with addition and subtraction exercises helps young learners develop essential mathematical concepts such as counting, number recognition, and the understanding of quantity. These foundational skills are not only vital for pursuing more advanced math topics later in their academic journey but also foster critical thinking and problem-solving abilities applicable in everyday life.

Moreover, early success in math can boost a child's confidence and interest in the subject. Positive and enjoyable experiences with math make it more likely that children will approach future learning with enthusiasm and a growth mindset. Encouraging children to solve simple math problems also promotes patience, perseverance, and attention to detail.

Therefore, investing time in teaching addition and subtraction to children aged 4-6 equips them with essential skills, promotes a positive attitude towards learning, and contributes to their overall intellectual and emotional development.
