Cognitive development in children aged 5-8 is critical as it lays the foundation for future learning, particularly in mathematics. Subtraction, as a fundamental arithmetic skill, plays a significant role in enhancing children’s problem-solving abilities and critical thinking. By understanding subtraction, children learn not only how to take away quantities but also develop a sense of numbers, relationships among them, and the concept of “what remains.”

Parents and teachers should focus on this area because cognitive development in this stage influences children's self-esteem and confidence when approaching complex topics later in life. Proficient subtraction skills foster a growth mindset, encouraging children to embrace challenges rather than shy away from them. Furthermore, engaging children in activities that involve subtraction enhances their ability to work independently and cooperatively with peers.

Additionally, making subtraction relatable and fun through real-world applications, games, and stories can motivate children, making learning meaningful. By supporting cognitive development in subtraction, parents and teachers are not just improving mathematical skills but also cultivating critical life skills such as resilience, adaptability, and logical reasoning. These tools are essential for academic success and daily decision-making throughout a child's development.
