Understanding number relationships related to addition and subtraction is crucial for children aged 5-6, as it lays the foundation for their mathematical skills and overall cognitive development. At this stage, children begin to grasp the concept that numbers represent quantities and can be manipulated through basic operations. Recognizing relationships between numbers fosters critical thinking, enabling young learners to assess patterns and make connections between various mathematical concepts.

Parents and teachers should care about this foundational understanding because it significantly impacts a child's confidence and success in mathematics as they progress through school. Solidifying addition and subtraction through various methods—such as counting objects, using number lines, or engaging in playful activities—helps children develop flexible problem-solving skills. When children comprehend the relationship between numbers, they can tackle more complex operations, such as multiplication and division, with ease.

Additionally, these skills enhance children's everyday life experiences, allowing them to manage situations involving quantities, budgeting, and time. Encouraging a strong grasp of addition and subtraction from a young age generates a positive attitude toward math, reducing anxiety and promoting perseverance during challenging tasks, ultimately contributing to lifelong success in learning and personal development.
