Parents and teachers should care deeply about teaching basic math operations like addition and subtraction to children aged 6-7 because these fundamental skills form the cornerstone of all future mathematical understanding and everyday decision-making. Grasping these core concepts early on promotes cognitive development and lays a strong foundation for more complex math topics encountered later in school, such as multiplication, division, and beyond.

At this critical developmental stage, children are highly receptive to learning and are beginning to hone their problem-solving abilities. Helping them become proficient in addition and subtraction not only boosts their numeracy skills but also fosters critical thinking, sequence understanding, and logical reasoning.

Moreover, the confidence gained from mastering these skills can have lasting impacts on a child's self-esteem and attitude towards learning. When children realize they can solve math problems on their own, it encourages a positive mindset and a love for learning.

Practical application of these skills is paramount as well. Basic addition and subtraction are used in real-life scenarios, such as handling money, understanding time, and even in solving basic puzzles and games. By ensuring children are adept in these operations, adults provide them with the tools required for everyday tasks, making their transition to more advanced topics and developing life skills smoother and more intuitive.
