Parents and teachers should prioritize basic subtraction and addition skills for children aged 6-8 because these foundational mathematical abilities are crucial for their academic and everyday life success. At this developmental stage, children are developing their number sense, problem-solving skills, and logical thinking. Proficiency in basic arithmetic operations, such as addition and subtraction, lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts they will encounter later, such as multiplication, division, and fractions.

Arithmetic skills are also essential beyond the classroom. Everyday tasks, from shopping and cooking to time management and financial planning, require a solid grasp of addition and subtraction. Helping children become confident in these skills at an early age fosters independence and builds their practical life skills.

Moreover, early success in math contributes to a positive attitude towards the subject. Children who struggle with basic math can become discouraged, leading to math anxiety and a reluctance to engage with mathematical challenges. By ensuring that children understand and master these skills, parents and teachers provide them with the confidence and enthusiasm needed to tackle increasingly difficult problems as they progress in their education. The cognitive benefits extend to other areas of learning and problem-solving, underlining the importance of a strong mathematical foundation.
