Parents and teachers should prioritize problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction for children ages 4-9 because these foundational abilities are critical for academic success and everyday functioning. At this age, children are developing their cognitive, analytical, and logical thinking skills, and learning basic math operations forms the bedrock of more complex mathematical concepts later on.

Problem-solving tasks require children to think critically, analyze situations, and explore different strategies, promoting a growth mindset. Engaging children in addition and subtraction challenges enables them to learn how to approach various problems methodically, leading to better perseverance and resilience.

Moreover, proficiency in these skills enhances children’s confidence in math, making them more inclined to participate in math-related activities in school, which can lead to improved academic performance. It also cultivates an appreciation for mathematics as a useful tool in daily life, helping them make decisions and solve problems beyond the classroom.

Lastly, early exposure to problem-solving in math encourages collaboration and communication when working with peers, further developing social skills. Ultimately, reinforcing these skills sets children on a path for future educational success and instills a positive attitude toward learning and problem-solving in general.
