Parents and teachers should prioritize real-life applications of addition and subtraction for children aged 5-7 because these skills are foundational for early mathematical understanding. Mastering these operations not only helps students develop critical thinking skills but also enhances their problem-solving abilities. When children learn to apply math to everyday situations—such as sharing snacks, counting toys, or shopping—they begin to see mathematics as a relevant and useful part of their daily lives.

Moreover, real-life application fosters engagement and curiosity. Children are more likely to grasp math concepts when they are linked to tangible experiences, which makes learning more enjoyable and meaningful. This practical approach can build confidence, encouraging a positive attitude toward mathematics as they witness their ability to solve real problems.

Additionally, incorporating addition and subtraction into daily activities helps solidify these concepts. It builds a strong mathematical foundation that influences future learning in more complex areas of math. By recognizing the importance of real-life applications, parents and teachers can effectively support children's cognitive development and ensure that they acquire essential skills that will benefit them throughout their educational journey and in everyday situations. Understanding math as a practical tool prepares children for real-world challenges.
