Parents and teachers should care about practicing addition and subtraction with children ages 5-8 because these foundational math skills are crucial for their cognitive development and future academic success. At this stage in their lives, children are developing their number sense, an understanding of how numbers work and relate to one another. Regular practice helps to build fluency and confidence, which are essential for tackling more complex mathematical concepts later on.

Moreover, engaging in counting, addition, and subtraction activities helps enhance a child's problem-solving abilities and logical thinking. These skills are not only vital in mathematics but also in everyday decision-making and in reasoning processes across all subjects. By mastering basic arithmetic early, children can develop a positive attitude toward math, reducing anxiety and building a sense of achievement.

Practicing with interactive and fun strategies such as using physical objects, engaging math games, or digital apps ensures that learning is enjoyable and effective. This habit of practicing math also encourages a disciplined approach to learning, showing children the value of perseverance and consistent practice. Ultimately, early practice in addition and subtraction lays a strong foundation for educational success, benefiting children throughout their academic journey and beyond.
