Parents and teachers should prioritize basic addition skills for children aged 5-6 because this foundation sets the stage for all future mathematical learning. At this age, children are introduced to the concept of numbers and their relationships, and mastering basic addition helps them develop critical problem-solving skills.

Understanding addition promotes cognitive development as children learn to recognize patterns, analyze relationships, and categorize information. These skills are not only essential for mathematics but are transferable across other subjects and daily life situations.

Moreover, early proficiency in addition can boost a child's confidence, reducing anxiety related to math as they progress through school. Engaging in activities that promote addition, such as games and hands-on learning, turns a potentially abstract concept into a fun and relatable experience.

Finally, early mastery of addition helps in establishing a positive attitude towards math during a formative learning period. When parents and teachers take an active role in nurturing these skills, they contribute to a child's academic success, paving the way for advanced mathematical concepts later on. In summary, supporting basic addition skills fosters cognitive growth and lays a vital groundwork for lifelong learning.
