Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction for children aged 5-9 because these foundational skills significantly impact a child's overall academic success and life skills. At this age, children are naturally curious and eager to learn; this is the ideal time to foster a positive attitude toward mathematical challenges.

Problem-solving in addition and subtraction teaches children how to approach challenges systematically, enhancing critical thinking and cognitive flexibility. These skills go beyond math, as they foster abilities like logical reasoning, perseverance, and teamwork. For example, when children learn to break down a problem into manageable parts, they not only grasp arithmetic concepts but also gain the tools to tackle real-life situations.

Moreover, building confidence in math at an early age can prevent aversions towards the subject later on. It sets the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts and problem-solving strategies in the future. By engaging in interactive activities, like games or group problem-solving exercises, adults can create an enriching learning environment that encourages children to explore, inquire, and confidently handle quantitative challenges, ultimately fostering a lifelong appreciation for learning.
