Parents and teachers play a crucial role in nurturing problem-solving skills related to addition and subtraction for children aged 5-6 because these foundational skills influence both academic and everyday life competencies. Firstly, understanding basic math operations enhances cognitive development by boosting a child's ability to think logically and critically. When young learners tackle addition and subtraction problems, they engage in a form of mental exercise that sharpens their reasoning and decision-making skills.

Moreover, early exposure to math fosters confidence and reduces math anxiety in later years, creating a positive attitude towards learning. Practical skills such as counting change, dividing snacks, or sharing toys equally are daily applications that reinforce the usefulness of these arithmetic concepts. Additionally, math fluency at this age is linked to better performance in other academic areas, including reading and problem solving in science subjects.

For parents and teachers, facilitating this development means providing a strong educational support system, such as interactive games, visual aids, and encouraging real-world math experiences. This engagement not only aids in grasping numerical concepts but also sparks curiosity and a love for learning, ensuring children carry these essential skills and positive attitudes throughout their educational journeys and beyond.
