Parents and teachers should prioritize basic addition and subtraction for children ages 5-9 as these foundational skills are essential for future academic success and daily life. Mastery of these concepts helps develop not only computational skills but also critical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. Early proficiency in math builds confidence and encourages students to engage more positively with the subject, laying the groundwork for complex mathematical concepts later on.

Additionally, understanding addition and subtraction enhances a child's ability to tackle real-life situations, from budgeting pocket money to measuring ingredients for recipes. It also fosters an appreciation of patterns and relationships, preparing them for subjects like science and data analysis.

Moreover, these skills support literacy development; as children learn to work with numbers, they also improve their ability to follow directions and comprehend information presented in various formats. When parents and teachers show interest and support in a child's mathematical learning, it cultivates a positive attitude toward education as a whole. Ultimately, investing time and resources in teaching basic addition and subtraction equips children not only with essential skills but also with the confidence to approach challenges, be it in mathematics or other areas in their lives.
