Problem-solving practice in addition and subtraction is crucial for children aged 4-6, as it lays a strong foundation for their mathematical development and cognitive growth. During these formative years, children's brains are particularly receptive to new concepts, making it an ideal time to introduce them to basic arithmetic. Encouraging problem-solving helps children learn to think critically, as they analyze questions, evaluate possible solutions, and apply their knowledge to real-world situations.

Additionally, mastering addition and subtraction through diverse problem-solving activities prepares children for more complex mathematical concepts in later grades. Engaging in these practices also develops perseverance and resilience, as children learn to approach challenges with a growth mindset, understanding that mistakes are part of the learning process.

Furthermore, involving parents and teachers in this process fosters collaborative learning environments. When parents reinforce these skills at home, it strengthens the connections between school learning and real-life application, enhancing children's confidence. Overall, this practice not only equips children with fundamental math skills but also nurtures essential life skills such as reasoning, patience, and creativity, which are vital for their holistic development. No effort in this early stage is too small, as it paves the way for future academic success.
