Addition and subtraction form the foundational building blocks of mathematics, especially for children aged 5-9. Parents and teachers should care deeply about these basic arithmetic skills as they are crucial for cognitive development and everyday functionality.

Firstly, addition and subtraction are essential life skills. Young children encounter situations daily that require basic arithmetic, like sharing toys equally among friends or determining how many apples are left after giving some away. Proficiency in these operations fosters self-sufficiency and confidence in young learners.

Secondly, early mastery of these concepts paves the way for more advanced mathematical topics. Skills like multiplication, division, problem-solving, and algebra heavily rely on a strong grasp of addition and subtraction. Understanding these basics ensures that children are not hindered in future academic pursuits.

Moreover, learning addition and subtraction sharpens logical thinking and problem-solving skills. By practicing these operations, children learn to follow step-by-step processes, recognize patterns, and think critically.

Furthermore, early math success can positively influence a child's attitude toward the subject. Positive and encouraging experiences with these fundamental skills can nurture a lifelong appreciation and enthusiasm for learning mathematics. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize teaching addition and subtraction to set a solid educational foundation and promote overall children's development.
