Understanding addition and subtraction is foundational for children's mathematical development, especially for those aged 5-6. At this stage, children transition from simple counting to grasping more complex concepts, setting the groundwork for future academic success.

First, mastering addition and subtraction enhances their problem-solving skills. It encourages logical thinking as they learn to recognize, analyze, and solve various mathematical situations. This cognitive development is crucial, as it influences their ability to tackle challenges in other subjects.

Moreover, proficiency in these basic operations boosts a child's confidence in their abilities. When children successfully grasp these concepts, they develop a positive attitude towards math, which can foster lifelong interest and enjoyment in learning. This is essential for curbing math anxiety, a common issue that can hinder performance as they progress in school.

Engaging in addition and subtraction also promotes social skills during group activities, as children learn to collaborate, share ideas, and communicate solutions effectively.

Therefore, the importance of understanding subtraction and addition cannot be understated, as it ultimately impacts a child's academic trajectory, confidence, and social interaction, making it a significant focus for parents and educators alike.
