Developing problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction for children aged 5-7 is crucial. At this age, young minds are exceptionally receptive to foundational concepts that will influence their academic trajectory and everyday life skills. Engaging children in arithmetic enhances their cognitive development, promoting logical thinking, pattern recognition, and decision-making skills.

Mathematics, particularly addition and subtraction, is everywhere in our daily lives—at grocery stores, during cooking, or even while playing. By learning these skills early, children become equipped to handle everyday tasks more independently and confidently. Moreover, early exposure to these basic operations instills an appreciation and curiosity for mathematics that can drive future interest and competency in more advanced topics.

Additionally, mastering these concepts helps build a child's confidence. When children understand how to solve problems using addition and subtraction, they are likely to approach challenges with a positive attitude and resilience. Problem-solving also encourages persistence, as children learn to approach problems from different angles until they find a solution.

For teachers, incorporating problem-solving with addition and subtraction in the curriculum: aids in assessing a child’s understanding beyond rote memorization. It provides insights into their reasoning processes, helping to tailor instruction to meet diverse learning needs. This foundational skill set thus sets the stage for academic success and the development of life-long learners.
